This bird looks like a blue jay but without its major marks: no crest, no white strips/spots. It is a little smaller than a blue jay but bigger than 6 inches of the most song bird size. Its thick and dark beak is a jay or crow like. I found it under the bushes. I clearly saw the blue as the major tone for this bird (thus, ruled out the common crackle). Only possible candidate is the gray jay but feather did not match.

Ottawa - This bird is Ontario's first Little Egret. It was spotted last week a few km away but only seen really for a day; refound in Kanata today. It does move around quite a bit. Last week it had head plumes. Gone now. Feet yellow but not quite as bright as Snowy Egret. Lores, in front of eyes, blue/gray. A bit larger than Snowy Egret but much smaller than Great Egret.

All cormorants have very colorful eyes. The Great Cormorant (here the African ssp. lucidus) has them in blue!

This photo is a little blurry but it shows a very special encounter: away from any water a whole family of Virginia Rails (one adult and 4 chicks) crossed our road out of the blue! This was stayed behind nd wasn't sure whether to cross or not... it eventually did and joined all the others!

A huge stir occurred at Long Point, Ontario last Saturday when a Bell's Vireo turned up. The bird is fairly similar in appearance to the Blue-headed Vireo (former Solitary Vireo) but with a less distinctive eye-ring/lore pattern. Not a great photo, but a record of the event nonetheless.
