Rufous Hummingbird (60)

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

📍 Map

Date taken: Nov 20 2025

Details: female, juvenile, outside normal range

Stoney Creek - Unfortunately I don't get the chance to submit hummingbird shots very often and so far that has been limited to the Ruby-throated, until now. This West Coast visitor was a pleasant surprise.

Ahmad Shah: Superb capture. nice sharp focus.
Brian Morin: Thankfully the bird was not too far and did not move too quickly so I was able to keep my settings lower.

St. Clair National Wildlife Area - A rare bird in Canada and a new species for me. It spent most of its time on wires so a brief trip to a natural setting was what I had hoped for. At that location it was also much lower. Oddly enough, there is also one of these Florida natives in Quebec.

Sue Bishop: great find and capture, Brian!
Brian Morin: The best part was I got some great close shots in a natural setting rather than on a power line at 50 metres, which was where I had it the first day.

Details: juvenile

Presqu'ile Provincial Park (Gull Island) - I had a lot of fun with three of these uncommon, attractive sandpipers. They frequently wandered within a few feet of me as they picked insects off low vegetation. They occasionally took on this characteristic profile with body and neck stretched to extend their view.
