Ahmad Shah: Superb capture.
Brian Morin: This species has been very frustrating. Ruddy Ducks all over the place but so few good looking adult males and they always seemed to be too far out. This one broke the rule long enough for me to grab a few shots.

Sue Bishop: Excellent,Brian!
Brian Morin: Everything worked. The light was right, the background faded beautifully and the bird stayed still for about 10 seconds. That is a lifetime in bird photography.

Sue Bishop: Nice closeup,Brian!
Brian Morin: I spent 15 minutes trying to get a decent shot of this little guy. I got lots of pictures, a few of which worked. It was as tough as dealing with a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Western Meadowlark (64)

Canada (Ontario)

📍 Map

Date taken: May 11 2025

Details: male, adult, outside normal range

London - The bird was actively calling for a prospective mate but none showed up. Similar to the Eastern Meadowlark but the call is a giveaway for this Prairie bird. The yellow on the face extends onto the cheek past the bill and the back is a sandier colour rather than brown.

Sue Bishop: Great find and capture,Brian!
Brian Morin: I spent a couple of hours with this bird at first light, hoping that it would come to the fence. It had been singing in a field about 100 metres away but eventually I was rewarded.

📍 Map

Date taken: Jul 3 2025

Details: adult, summer plummage, outside normal range

Prince Edward County (Gull Shoal) - We found two birds on a rocky shoal four km offshore. Pelicans breed in southwestern Lake Erie but a few birds wander before and after the breeding season. This summer individuals have been popping up across Ontario in the south, central and east, usually seen as flybys.
