Chris: A very tough bird to get. Congrats on a brilliant capture
Brian Morin: It won't show in the photo but it took me many years to get this shot and this is precisely the shot I was after. The species is very difficult to photograph well in most cases but rarely it will present in an opportune setting. I literally picked the posts that were possible to work with in this field and positioned myself accordingly. I returned four times for this particular bird and while I had a partial success on my second attempt there was heat haze so almost all the shots were too soft. Another time the sun was too harsh even though it was very early morning. This day everything clicked – even soft light, good background and a weathered aged post, angled preferred, with just a hint of moss and a lichen covering. Of course it had to sing. When I checked the camera at the time I saw the bird was tack sharp. A decades long goal had finally been accomplished.

Midhurst - For the first time two singing males were found at a public site that was developed specifically for this nationally endangered species. Hopefully one or both will find a mate.

Point Pelee National Park - A rare and very frustrating bird to see and even tougher to photograph. It skulks in thickets and seldom appears in the open. It took me 90 minutes to have this opportunity.

Hillman Marsh - Similar to Long-billed. Bill usually shorter and it begins to gently curve downward about one third of the way from the tip. In spring plumage there is spotting rather than barring on the breast near the bend in the wing which is found in Long-billed.
With dowitchers, no two birds are alike with markings.
