Presqu'ile Provincial Park - a good bird for us in the East. We didn't know the bird had been sighted in the morning. Note the droop at the end of the longer bill (shorter in Semipalmated Sandpiper) and the bit of rusty on the scapulars. I didn't realize until two days later that the bird reported earlier in the day had different markings so a second bird.

Prince Edward Point - A provincially rare species.I was searching for another provincial rarity and failed to locate it when we learned of this bird only 40 minutes away. We had it 20 minutes after we arrived and over the next 4 hours I saw it about five more times for less than a minute each.

Lancaster - We get the odd one in migration with the Snow Geese. This one has more Lesser genes than Ross's. It is a little smaller than a Lesser Snow Goose and has a smaller bill and head like Ross's. The forehead is sloping like a Snow Goose rather than more vertical like a Ross's Goose.
