Amherst Island - I switched from shooting Short-eared Owls to this fox for a short time. While focusing on the fox, an owl swept low overhead, showing its displeasure with this competitor for the abundant meadow voles.

St. Rose - This photo is uncropped. I was driving along a rural road keeping an eye on a flock of redpolls to my right when I was startled by something taking off a few feet away on my left. This Rough-leg was right there. I jumped out and popped a few shots, most of which didn't work because I only had part of the bird in the frame. It was too close. :)

Near Whitby - This is the second record for Canada. The first was a bird in Toronto in late fall 1993. They are very rare in North America, with only six U.S. records of this South American species. It saved me a trip south :)

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - Lake Ontario usually has a few of these coastal birds show up before heading to the Atlantic for the winter. They are often quite approachable. This is the last of the migrant shorebirds for another season.

Ottawa - I came across another Fox Sparrow. It was busy feeding on a road with Juncos.

Ottawa - Tremendous luck with this bird. I was in my car watching juncos and Tree Sparrows when it dropped to the ground right in front of me, about 5 metres away. Almost too close. This is just about full frame, with a slight crop on the left.

St. Isidore - I found a flock of 110 in a freshly tilled field. It is late for this species and very late for a large flock. Note the absense of black in the 'armpit' distinguishing it from the Black-bellied Plover.

Ingleside - This tall species can show up in the area in singles or pairs every few years. Always nice to see.

Ingleside - This was pretty well the last of the possible species for the migration.
