Despite the drizzly conditions I managed a few good images of this very cooperative Hooded Warbler. Species 325 for my Ottawa life list!

male, adult, summer plummage
Captured this image of a male Red-necked Phalarope in a wet plowed field just south of Ottawa. An unusual location far from any substantial body of water.

I don't usually see Pewees in such open and sunlit situations. This guy only gave me time for two quick shots before returning to more usual haunts.

I have found this species very wary and hard to approach. I finally managed to get a few images of this Willow Flycatcher (yes it spoke to me) west of Ottawa.

Saturday evening I went for a walk at the Nortel swamp just west of Ottawa. As I was walking down the trail a tiny black ball of fluff came walking down the trail toward me. An obviously alone and lost Virginia Rail chick.

After taking a few photos I caught the poor little waif and put it back in the cattails where it may reunite with its parents. Out on the trail it had no chance if a passing crow had seen it.
