Ottawa-Shirley's Bay. Now that's something you don't see every day. The bird flipped this leech around for a couple of minutes trying to knock it out. It eventually swallowed it. Impressive.

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - A pleasant surprise today. Only a few Whimbrels stop here on their way south so I got lucky while viewing other shorebirds. It was only present for three minutes.

Napanee Plain Alvar - I failed a couple of weeks ago to get anywhere near these rare breeders. Today there were about 5-6, probably a single family and two birds were about 150 feet away, much too far to shoot. Then one came in closer and eventually landed beside the road near my car. It was almost too close to shoot and the upper angle was very awkward for an inside shot but I managed to do it. This is a very rare breeder in Ontario.

Napanee - the repertoire of this bird was incredible. It did virtually perfect songs of Tufted Titmouse, Blue Jay (two different calls), Eastern Phoebe and the call of a Kingfisher in addition to its own call notes. There were others too but these were the best. Practise makes perfect they say. If you closed your eyes you could not distinguish the calls as not being the real thing. We found this bird while looking for a Tufted Titmouse that was calling. That was one big titmouse :)
