Ottawa - The photo was taken after sunset with nearby street lamps offering a small boost to the darkening light. I don't use flash. Owl pupils open wider than other birds giving them a totally different look at night – huge eyes that are solid black.

Kemptville - There was a small flock in a recently tilled field. The birds were mainly further out and with terrible heat shimmer shooting was impossible. A couple of hours passed and they moved close enough that the shimmer was less of an issue.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - This is a provincially endangered species with only a few breeding pairs. 2023 was a poor breeding year. This male was calling and flying about proclaiming territory. We were not near a nest. The pair did not nest this year but another pair did.

Hudsonian Godwit (66)

Oshawa - An uncommon to rare fall migrant, the bird was discovered on the back field of a high school yesterday. I beat everyone to school for the first day back and had the bird to myself for 30 minutes this morning. It was great. It showed virtually no fear but I didn't approach too closely anyway, giving it space to feed on insects and probe for worms. Several times it started to head my way so I'd back off.
