Found feeding on the grass in the treed area just east of the corner of Willow Ave. and First St. just before 7 AM; after about 10 minutes, it flew southwest; we relocated the bird at the top of a conifer on Second Ave., where we were able to get photos with the bird sitting in the sun; after a few minutes it flew to the west and out of sight.

Unmistakeable raptor with a black back, wings and cap, fluffy whitish neck, lightly banded shoulders and tail with black terminal band, yellow legs, and a pink face and bluish bill; white patches on the underside of the outer primaries visible in flight."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S274788327
- Media: 6 Photos
- Comments: "Fooled many birders! Great work Matt for catching this tough ID and this fantastic bird. Upon inspection of photos, thankfully many high quality ones, reveals features relevant to Pacific. I am far from a golden-plover expert so many of these features I just learned, and were brought up by Killian Mullarney and others on What’s This Bird and Advanced Bird ID Facebook pages. A female golden plover in alternate plumage.

- Thick white stripe from back of head down the sides, separating the black belly completely from the upper parts. Some dark bars inside this line on flanks.
- Longest tertial tip meeting tail tip in length. Primaries projecting only a bit beyond the tail.
- Fresh scapulars very buffy with no scaling, dark insides.
- Slightly thicker and longer bill than American. This was noticeable in the field and in some photos more than others.

Such a cool bird and very thankful we spent so much time with it - not often you get to see a female golden plover so up close in this lovely plumage in any case down here! This is what birding is all about!"

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S274512475
- Media: 10 Photos
- Comments: "Initially I identified this as an American Golden-Plover. However, further analysis by many it turned to be a female Pacific Golden-Plover in molting breeding plumage because of the following characteristics seen in this bird:

1. The longest tertial extends up to the tail, the projected primaries that were visible appeared short. A juvenile American Golden-Plover that was around nearby showed much shorter tertials with longer primary projection
2. The white bands with some black barring on both flanks extend from forehead to the belly, indicative of a female
3. Black long legs - nearby juvenile American Golden-Plover helped identify the differences as they came to stand side by side at one point
4. Spotted gold and black on the crown and upperparts
5. Bill appeared long, though not conclusive"

- Comments: "This was my first time seeing golden plovers. I first saw this bird hanging around Beaton's Point. I saw the gold edges on the back feathers in the field, and pale grey (not black) armpit feathers in Dinu B's photo, so I put it as American Golden Plover, although I had doubts about the longer and thicker bill. Then I saw the discussion on the Facebook What's This Bird page started by Matt P and shared by Gavin P on Discord. It was pointed out that the bird had a thick white stripe extending past its chest and along its belly. Also it had short primaries. Also read online that Pacific Golden Plovers have white and dark spotted undertail coverts, unlike American Golden Plovers which have black undertail coverts. Super glad I managed to get good looks at it before it left, even though I did not know what it was at the time. See pictures."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S276667250
- Comments: "A group of 7 cormorants flew over fairly high in V formation. They were clearly different than the double-crested cormorants with which I am very familiar. They had light colored beaks; all of them except 1 were lighter under their neck and a bit into their chest and darker under their wings and tail, whereas 1 was almost completely dark underneath; a bit smaller than double-crested cormorants; their neck and tail were roughly the same length and none of them flew with that slightly bent neck appearance that is typical of double-crested cormorants."

It stayed on same branch until about 3:45 when it flew and was relocated atop a conifer at Second Ave and Horseshoe. Then it flew towards the landfill, where it was resighted a little later. Striking large bird with black cap, red on face, hooked bill, white throat and neck, black barred breast, black belly, long tail with white undertail, and long yellow legs."

Violet-green Swallow (Tachycineta thalassina) (1)
- Reported Oct 08, 2025 10:50 by Lev Frid | Rockjumper Birding
- Kortright Conservation Centre, York, Ontario
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=43.8281377,-79.5880688&ll=43.8281377,-79.5880688
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S278074180
- Media: 6 Photos
- Comments: "At around 12:15 pm a single swallow appeared heading ENE following the line of Norway Spruces. It was far but seen well through binoculars. Kortright is not a productive area for swallows and the latest record ever for any swallow (Tree Swallow) is five weeks before this one, so we knew it was a good record whatever it was!

First impression was of a small swallow with rapid wingbeats, not a Progne. As it got closer, the dark throat and head was the most prominent fieldmark, eliminating Tree. Rough-winged was the next contender, but the swallow appeared grey rather than brown when it showed its back. Another cool field mark I learned last year for NRWS (from finding the first one ever for Tadoussac!) is that the secondaries are translucent like a Red-shouldered Hawk’s “windows", and this is very visible if the sun is hitting the bird like it was this one. No translucent secondaries here.

Once the swallow got closer I attempted to photograph it, and once it angled away from us the most important field mark pertaining to Violet-green became obvious, two white “saddles” going over the rump. It really stood out with the sun hitting it. When the bird was tacking into the wind it was hard to see. A few photos, while distant, show these saddles as well as the dusky throat and non-contrasting head. We watched it for just over a minute in very good light."

Pete and I both had eyes on it, as it fluttered from branch to branch somewhat like a kinglet tight to the trunk of the tree. Pete had better looks from the front of its face and called out that’s it! Hanging out with a big flock of Yellow-rumped warblers and blue birds. Bright yellow throat and yellow lores. Greyish above with dark streaking along flanks, white wing bars and white outer tail feathers. No yellow rump! First Algonquin Park record, second Ontario record (?). Incredible Lifer for all of us!"

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S279951484
- Comments: "What a find yesterday by Mike and Britta Runtz. We joined about 30 others about 10am. Over the next 90 minutes we chased a flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers around the old airfield and saw the Grace's three times (twice quite well). It would occasionally pause near the top of a pine or other conifer and afford studies of several minutes each time. A smaller shorter-tailed warbler than the YRWA. Of course the lemon yellow throat and upper breast were the obvious feature. The head and back were a smooth even grey. It had two white wing bars. The lower breast and belly were white. The big difference from Yellow-throated Warbler was the lack of black on the sides of the head and contrasting white around the black. See photos. Second record for Ontario, and one of a handful in eastern North America."
