Ottawa - This 'juvie' is putting its best foot forward as it probes for dinner. We are in that interim period in the annual cycle, the shorebird season, which bridges summer and fall. This is one of the most interesting and challenging periods of birding and is for me more fun and satisfying than dealing with those 'confusing fall warblers'. This is especially true for photographers because more often than not if you strategize you don't need to chase them, they will come to you.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - a good bird for us in the East. We didn't know the bird had been sighted in the morning. Note the droop at the end of the longer bill (shorter in Semipalmated Sandpiper) and the bit of rusty on the scapulars. I didn't realize until two days later that the bird reported earlier in the day had different markings so a second bird.

Ottawa - When a Peregrine swooped onto the beach, the shorebirds froze. This yellowlegs dropped into the water (which was only three inches deep) and at one point was barely above the surface, with only part of the head and back exposed. It remained in this position for 20 minutes after the falcon had moved on.
