BrianMorin: That pose shows off the bird's camouflage well.
Chris: The behaviour of this species was interesting. Quick movements and awkward positions. Unfortunately it didn’t stay more than a few seconds.

Manitoulin Island - This was a very long trip but since the last time this species was reported in Ontario was 2011 and earlier reports were way back, I decided to make the extended journey. It was worth the effort

Chris: Great that it all worked out…I’ve not had luck getting them down low yet. Looks like a pretty wild area.
BrianMorin: Actually, it is in someone's yard in a rural area but with the crop, the lawn drops out. As for height issues, absolutely. The bird spent five hours at a perch 80 feet up a deciduous tree. It finally came down for a couple of minutes before ascending once again. It was feeding solely on cracked corn but I never saw it eat anything. I think it is only feeding early.

Beaver Lake - I spotted this bird sitting on the gravel right beside the Trans Canada Highway so I turned around and parked across the road. It popped up onto the snowbank offering a perfect eye-level setting before flying across the road.

Chris: Excellent photo. Great to see him out of the tangles and in good light!
BrianMorin: It was a total fluke. I'm lucky it stuck around long enough for some shots.

Chris: Wow…what a sight. You must have been very calm to calm and stealthy to away with such a great result
Krish: Thanks, Chris, the bird seemed concerned about two Hill Mynahs who were buzzing it (not in this footage) and probably found those more threatening.

Keeping a big distance and behind vegetation, we managed to see a Santa Marta Parakeet for a minute or so. Probably the rarest bird of the trip - one can only hope for better days ahead. Cuchillo San Lorenzo, Santa Marta Mountains.

Always nice to see a new warbler, let alone a special one restricted to a tiny area of the world. Thanks to Ricardo Martinez for spotting and identifying. Santa Marta mountains, Colombia
