Presqu'ile Provincial Park - It was a miserable day with steady rain and very high wind. That no doubt brought the gull down. The bird had a nice breeding season 'blush' on the underparts.

Prince Edward County - This North American rarity has been present for about 10 days. The water in a flooded field was deep enough that I only got the occasional glimpse of the strikingly coloured legs a few times. I have only seen a very few of these birds in my years of birding and this was my best result so far.

Ottawa - Winter visitor, along with hundreds of others soon to depart for the northwest to breed. The birds only showed up in numbers in recent days with two areas having several thousand. This one has flown down to the water for a quick drink after eating buckthorn berries.

Mississauga - While this species is viewed every winter in the area with a few individuals, it is still a rarity in the province and is considered a species at risk in Eastern Canada. Females are usually observed more than males in southern Ontario.

Erieau - This Eurasian wanderer put in an appearance in the extreme southwestern part of the province. I had a very poor distant look at one in Toronto in January and failed a second time for a better look at the same bird in a different location. This bird was much better.

Barraute - There has been a major irruption from the Arctic in Abitibi County. It was my second trip this winter and this time I had 51 birds in two days. The experience was terrific.
