Algoma District - A treat for us so used to Red-winged Blackbirds. They have little in common with them except the family association. They are more approachable, spend most of the day ground feeding in grassy areas, fly about interacting with one another, have a very different call and males have an almost liquid metallic sheen.

Brighton - I found out that there is a small colony of this uncommon to rare species at this location so while in the area I checked it out and had good luck with several of the birds.

Murphy's Point Provincial Park - Note this bird is banded. The reason this species is experiencing a population decline is mainly due to interbreeding with the Blue-winged Warbler. The two are genetically almost identical so hybridisation is easier than with other species.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - I don't take many feeder pictures but I will make an exception from time to time. This was certainly one of those times. The bird didn't land on adjacent trees but came directly to the feeder. What made this even better was that I was sitting on a recliner at one side of the yard talking with my friend who was on his deck while we both waited for action to follow.

Williamstown - Imagine my surprise when at sunset I spot this little guy beside the road. Their instinct is to remain still but of course that doesn't help when you have zero cover. It even treated me to a little dance before it eventually flew.

Morrisburg - I was in a field in a blind waiting for other quarry when this bird strolled by at close range. Worked for me :)
