winter plummage, outside normal range
Tsawwasen Ferry Jetty, Delta BC
There have been a pair here for about 3 weeks. The Iona and Tsawwassen jettys provide a limited tundra like environment that attracts, Buntings, Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs in fall and winter.

I have had an incredible year chasing rarities but chasing flycatchers in Dec. in a snowstorm boarders on insanity.

Well call me crazy but we were again successful in tracking down an incredibly rare bird. We drove a total of 14 hours to get to see this Fork-tailed Flycatcher reported in Lyme Connecticut.

Despite the intense snow fall we managed to not only find the flycatcher but to obtain some decent images.

Thanks Paul Lagasi!

male, immature
Cornwall - These young males were putting on a show for the females. The "Jakes" will strut their stuff in the fall to an attentive audience but this is not for breeding purposes. Similar courting displays will take place next spring.

winter plummage
Iona South Jetty, Iona Regional Park, Richmond BC
Another lifer, although these birds are fairly common in fall migration here. Required a 3 KM walk each way on the jetty, but well worth it.

fallow field at Drummersdale House Farm, Scarisbrick, Lancashire. I was driving down a lane on what has been the family farm for over 200 years, when a whitish blur swept past the windscreen. I only had a short lens with me, so the resolution is poor on this surprising visitor.
