Napier - A light drizzle was falling but since I was shooting from the car it didn't matter. It is always nice to see this uncommon grassland species.

Details: adult

Ottawa - A great treat to see this species within an hour from home. The bird was present for a few days, visible often at close range. One couple were sitting on a bench waiting for it to come to a feeder, only to find out the bird had been perched almost over their heads for 30 minutes. :)

Chris: I did t realize they were irruptive or prone to wandering. What a sight that must have been!
BrianMorin: They do wander and every year there are a few reports in the province but seldom this far east.

Short-billed Dowitcher (14)

Limnodromus griseus

Date taken: Aug 24 2021

Crysler - I returned to the area and discovered the bird still present. I remained at one spot in the river (only inches deep in this area so great for shorebirds, and for me) and waited for it to approach for some good shots.

Chris: Terrific composition.
BrianMorin: I waited 90 minutes for the bird to return to this spot. I took shots in other settings but this was one of the best.

Common Nighthawk (10)

Chordeiles minor

Date taken: Aug 15 2021

Details: juvenile

Cornwall - Common Nighthawks no longer breed in our region so if we want to see one in the summer we have to head almost two hours northwest onto part of the Canadian Shield. They prefer open rocky areas with limited vegetation for breeding. This bird was a migrant that spent the day sleeping on a power line. In the third week of August, several flocks of a dozen or more moved through late in the day.

Sue Bishop: Very nice,Brian. We saw a flock of 7 fly over our house yesterday as you said late in the day. Sad we don't see them more often!
BrianMorin: That's great. I too miss their evening flights during the breeding season.

Crysler - Nice to see the second dowitcher at this location.

Sue Bishop: Excellent!
BrianMorin: Dowitchers are notoriously hard to separate. In this case, the thicker bill with a very slight droop at the end is easily seen.

Sue Bishop: Nice one!
BrianMorin: That eye ring is an easy field mark to spot. Green legs help too.

Stilt Sandpiper (11)

Calidris himantopus

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

📍 Map

Date taken: Aug 12 2021

Details: adult, molting

Crysler - Nice to see an adult of this uncommon species. There are very few areas for us to check for shorebirds this year so it was nice to see a spot along a river with good habitat and several dozen birds.

Chris: Absolutely stunning!
BrianMorin: I spent a few hours walking in the middle of a river (50 metres wide) to get shorebird shots and while it never came super close it was enough to get one like this. Water was only about 2-10" deep and the river base in this zone was flat rock so an easy effort.
