adult, summer plummage, outside normal range
Cambridge - Fantastic find at a suburban retention pond where the bird was easily observed for an entire day. It was a one-day wonder but several hundred people got to see it before it left that night. The previous record in Eastern Canada was in 1990. The bird likely crossed from Russia, through Alaska into Canada and followed migrating shorebirds south.

juvenile, outside normal range
St. Clair National Wildlife Area - A rare bird in Canada and a new species for me. It spent most of its time on wires so a brief trip to a natural setting was what I had hoped for. At that location it was also much lower. Oddly enough, there is also one of these Florida natives in Quebec.

male, adult, captive
Iroquois - A native of Russia and China, this species is feral in many countries including several US states. It occasionally shows up in Canada including one that wintered in Montreal last year. This duck is further upriver and could be the same one. It is very tolerant of the cold as long as it has open water.
