male, adult, outside normal range
London - The bird was actively calling for a prospective mate but none showed up. Similar to the Eastern Meadowlark but the call is a giveaway for this Prairie bird. The yellow on the face extends onto the cheek past the bill and the back is a sandier colour rather than brown.

adult, summer plummage, outside normal range
Prince Edward County (Gull Shoal) - We found two birds on a rocky shoal four km offshore. Pelicans breed in southwestern Lake Erie but a few birds wander before and after the breeding season. This summer individuals have been popping up across Ontario in the south, central and east, usually seen as flybys.

male, adult, outside normal range
Sibbald Point Provincial Park - I waited years to finally see an adult male. Previously I had seen a few females and an immature male. I saw the bird off and on for three hours. This was the last shot I took and it was the best of the day.
