Warblers, morning light, and forest cover. I've always had trouble with this species, but we're getting there. Long Point, Ontario.

The amazing thing about spring migration at Long Point - you never know how each day will turn our. Every day is different.

I've been attempting for months to get back to the review of photos from earlier this year. Various things have prevented that until now. Happy to see our migratory friends again. Long Point, Ontario.

Details: immature, outside normal range

Ingleside - This out of range Florida bird has been around for weeks and with leaves gone it has been easier to find. Last night we had a hard freeze which had the bird not in its usual area. You won't see many shots of this species enjoying a Canadian winter. It is very healthy at this time and can fly no problem. It is feeding on dead fish, a frog (when it was warmer) aquatic vegetation and wild grapes. Those huge feet allow it to move very easily on the ice. Attempts by others to retrieve the bird so it can overwinter in a rehabilitation facility failed today. It is still too healthy and eluded its captors.

Chris: Hope he makes it. I remember a Common Moorhen tried to overwinter in Dorval, and was eating popcorn at a movie theatre into December.

Calidris maritima

Erieau - I had tried a number of times this fall to find the species in various areas but failed until this day. Living up to its reputation, the bird was wonderfully cooperative. I did not approach it, the bird was simply very close when I found it, almost stumbling over it in a dark corner of a breakwater. Thankfully it later went into the light.
