Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

adult, outside normal range
Not since August 1991 have I seen this species. Located in Lachute, Quebec outside it's normal range. After a snow squall the bird took a bath in the water on the cedar leaves.

I'm not sure if this is a female or first winter male. Please correct if I'm wrong on female.

winter plummage
What appears to be a Black Redstart. This bird landed on the roof of Zurich Airport and may have been in migration as it seemed out of placed and tired. Fortunately had my camera handy!
