Ottawa- A pair on territory. Regionally rare.

Chris: I was also excited when I got out of the car at Montreal Airport and heard the song…many Canadians don’t get to see these often
BrianMorin: Isn't that a coincidence. This bird and its mate are at the Ottawa Airport, about 150 feet from a runway. The nest is in a tangle along a fence behind a secure side fence but only about 40 feet in so it will be easy to watch the birds coming and going later on. We had them on a mowed area close by, feeding and resting in a large tree. One of them came down to the ground about 20 feet away. The male does incredible mimics. Perfect House Sparrow, Robin, Crested Flycatcher, Starling, Killdeer, Kingfisher, Red-winged Blackbird alarm call and a number of others. They are indistinguishable from those birds.

Bobolink (22)

Dolichonyx oryzivorus

Canada (Ontario)

Details: male, adult

Alfred - This shot fell into my lap. I stopped at a spot looking for a perch that a Bobolink might land on. I grabbed my camera to test the settings on the bush and as I raised it there was the bird I was hoping to find.

Chris: Fantastic Brian. What a great summer scene, amongst many other qualities in the photo.
BrianMorin: I didn't 'need' a shot of a Savannah but when I saw this one coming to that perch I couldn't resist.

Pooecetes gramineus

Date taken: Jun 9 2022

Details: male, adult

Alfred - Identified as male because it was singing on territory. It is not a spectacular species but it has a pleasant song.

Ahmad Shah: Great find, nicely captured.
BrianMorin: For me it was not just about the bird but the complete picture. The setting was great with a neutral background and much character in the post.

Riparia riparia

Canada (Ontario)

📍 Map

Date taken: Jun 9 2022

Details: adult

Alfred - This is a nest site, part of a colony in a large pile of peat on a peat farm. I hope the young fledge before the hill is excavated.

Ahmad Shah: Superb find, well captured.
BrianMorin: I took quite a few photos of the birds going into a number of nest holes and remained inside my car for the shoot so I wouldn't disturb them. The results exceeded my expectations.
