A backlit Grasshopper Sparrow just down the road from our cottage. It looks like he's feeding young!
Also just down the road, this family of Osprey was seen each day flying over the lake and sitting on their nest.
Pine Warbler seen along the roadside
An Ovenbird seen on a forest walk
Vesper Sparrow - a very nice surprise!
Eastern Kingbird - they were EVERYWHERE!
A young or female Bobolink
A hoped-for bird for my Ontario list, a Cliff Swallow
...and another new Ontario bird for me, a Bank Swallow
A Piping Plover on nest. Volunteers had cordoned off the area and were keeping watch over the nesting pair. Two young had just been born that morning!
The male of the pair worked his way down the beach towards me and I was able to get a better photo, despite the heavy fog.
What a great surprise! On the same beach as the plovers, I heard the cry of a Willet. Out of the fog, this bird emerged and set down right near me!
This Least Bittern was a fun and unexpected sighting!
