Toronto - I returned to see this rare overwintering male before it heads north. Shooting conditions were much better than on New Year's Day, with no heat shimmer and moderate wind. The bird also came closer one time during my four-hour stay.

Ingleside - There have been numerous sightings of these local breeders this winter.
The bird was hunting the roadside, enabling me to stay in the car to photograph it.

Montreal - I returned to see this European vagrant and had a far better experience than I did a month ago. There was no crowd (myself and a couple from Pennsylvania) and the bird's habits were well understood since a feeder had been set up with meal worms, berries and safflower seeds. Instead of seconds I had it sunning itself for a few minutes before flying off into an adjacent lot.
