Val-d'Or – I was going through some of my trip files from northern Quebec earlier this month and recall the conditions when we found the ptarmigan. It was rough, a far cry from where we are today thankfully. Discovering a flock close to the road on the second day, after hours of searching was a thrill I'll always remember.

Near Whitby - This is the second record for Canada. The first was a bird in Toronto in late fall 1993. They are very rare in North America, with only six U.S. records of this South American species. It saved me a trip south :)

Wolfe Island- Kingston - This bird had been reported off and on by one person for a few weeks but spotting it is luck. I went there hoping but not expecting to see it and got incredibly lucky. I watched it briefly and before it took off it raised its wings and let the wind keep them up so I had about 5 seconds to get shots like this. That is a long time from a photographer's perspective. As for it being a female, I was going by size. This was a big bird.
