At Boundary Bay, in the same location as the Little Stint in 2018. This bird was amongst 1000-2000 sandpipers, and was a challenge to see. Many people were helpful in pointing out markers out in the bay to help find him, as he looks almost identical to Western Sandpiper when facing away. As the tide was coming in, the wind kicked up which meant most birds were facing away and with their heads tucked. One lucky photo came out.

BrianMorin: Great luck and shot. I knew the bird was in the area and wondered if you'd have a chance to look for it. Even better, it's still in breeding plumage.
Chris: It was extremely lucky. Not only were they so many birds, but they kept going up for short flights. Once someone finally refound the bird, it would take time to point out the location, only to have a Gull or Swallow fly by and send them up again. Fascinating experience, and the sounds are unforgettable.

South Lancaster - I had to be at the site by 5:15 a.m. to make sure I'd see the crane family head from the marsh to an adjacent soybean field. My shooting window today lasted about 3 minutes with the best shots in the first minute. Usually it is about 20 seconds.

Leamington – An exceptionally rare bird in the province with only a few prior records for this Southwestern U.S. species. Thankfully I was in the region at the time and saw the bird the day after many others had seen it. It was not found the following day so timing was perfect.

Ahmad Shah: Great find, well captured.
BrianMorin: This was an exceptionally difficult subject to shoot. The initial brief activity at dawn was in the open but after that it was always within a small woodlot in a park. Poor light and lots of leaves and branches meant I'll only have about 2-3% keepers but at least I have this to show for the effort.
