Western Grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) (1)
- Reported Jul 15, 2025 13:00 by Chris Blomme
- Robinson Lake, Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Greater Sudbury, Ontario

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S260434026
- Comments: "First reported in morning with photos and description, a return visit with John, and the two Bruce’s came out to see the bird. It was observed diving and preening. It would stay underwater for long periods. It was observed with scopes and some pictures taken. See morning report for description. On one occasion a loon plunged out of the water very close to the grebe, suggesting it was not tolerated by the common loon. John saw this."

Reddish (incl head) eclipse male wigeon... primaries super faded (retained juv feathers?? - I don't know anything about them)...
Actually called for a while -- my notes from the field:
- Called with strong emphasis on the second note ... ha-HA!
- Or ha-HAAa! - longer second half
- last note trails off a bit
Only pic on ebird of a hybrid is not like this, not sure how one would rule out a hybrid, but given that call was spot on for EUWI (as I learned later) - I'm inclined to go EUWI (at least for now!)"

- Comments: "Interesting
Reddish (incl head) eclipse male wigeon... primaries super faded (retained juv feathers?? - I don't know anything about them)...
Actually called for a while -- my notes from the field:
- Called with strong emphasis on the second note ... ha-HA!
- Or ha-HAAa! - longer second half
- last note trails off a bit
Only pic on ebird of a hybrid is not like this, not sure how one would rule out a hybrid, but given that call was spot on for EUWI (as I learned later) - I'm inclined to go EUWI (at least for now!)"

- Comments: "While standing at the Alligator Boat, my station for Logger's Day, I noticed as this sparrow flew from the woods onto the gravel pathway about 5-10 meters away. My eyes just about bugged out of my head when I realized it was a Lark Sparrow! It hopped around for several seconds on the path, and I was clearly able to make out the distinctive facial patterning, dark spot in the middle of the breast, and white in the outer rectrices. The bird was otherwise light brown, with a pale breast. It vocalized a few times—a piercing, high-pitched call note. I called out to Amanda—who was stationed at the Cadge Crib and talking to a large group of people—that there was a Lark Sparrow, and she and the group came over. The bird flew up to the top of some spruces, hopped around a bit, then flew off across the pond to the far side, where it landed near the top of a tree. It was merely a speck at this point, and given the chaos of having a large group of visitors, this is when we lost track of it. It was not subsequently seen again during the remainder of the day. Given the commotion of Logger's Day, it's hard to say whether this bird would have otherwise stuck around if not for the crowds or if it was truly just moving through."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S262953562
- Comments: "While standing at the Alligator Boat, my station for Logger's Day, I noticed as this sparrow flew from the woods onto the gravel pathway about 5-10 meters away. My eyes just about bugged out of my head when I realized it was a Lark Sparrow! It hopped around for several seconds on the path, and I was clearly able to make out the distinctive facial patterning, dark spot in the middle of the breast, and white in the outer rectrices. The bird was otherwise light brown, with a pale breast. It vocalized a few times—a piercing, high-pitched call note. I called out to Amanda—who was stationed at the Cadge Crib and talking to a large group of people—that there was a Lark Sparrow, and she and the group came over. The bird flew up to the top of some spruces, hopped around a bit, then flew off across the pond to the far side, where it landed near the top of a tree. It was merely a speck at this point, and given the chaos of having a large group of visitors, this is when we lost track of it. It was not subsequently seen again during the remainder of the day. Given the commotion of Logger's Day, it's hard to say whether this bird would have otherwise stuck around if not for the crowds or if it was truly just moving through."

Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) (1)
- Reported Jul 29, 2025 11:19 by William Van Hemessen
- Cedar Springs--HWY 3 pond, Chatham-Kent, Ontario

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S263647589
- Comments: "We saw three vultures soaring high above the ponds and generally moving northwest. All three birds had typical vulture flight pattern, but one was a much stockier bird with blunt tail and less pronounced U-shaped profile. Both of us have seen black vultures kettling with turkey vultures in the US and we're very confident in this observation despite the bird being too distant to clearly pick up on white wing patches, etc. We were careful to rule out other possibilities (RTHA, other hawks, bald eagle, etc) before submitting this record."

- Comments: "At 9:30a I was walking west on the boardwalk near the foot of Ellis. Scanning the birds on the breakwall I spied a crow amongst the gulls and cormorants. It looked small!
But I hesitated making any hasty leaps in judgement. Hustling over to a closer position I watched the bird in question for the next 45 minutes during which time it dined from what appeared to be remnants of flesh on a bone, and confronted a cormorant with a few couplets of “uh uh”, then preened contentedly perched on a mooring ring for 25 minutes happy as a lark. Then it took off eastward. I’ll upload some pics tomorrow."

- Comments: "At 9:30a I was walking west on the boardwalk near the foot of Ellis. Scanning the birds on the breakwall I spied a crow amongst the gulls and cormorants. It looked small!
But I hesitated making any hasty leaps in judgement. Hustling over to a closer position I watched the bird in question for the next 45 minutes during which time it dined from what appeared to be remnants of flesh on a bone, and confronted a cormorant with a few couplets of “uh uh”, then preened contentedly perched on a mooring ring for 25 minutes happy as a lark. Then it took off eastward. I’ll upload some pics tomorrow."

- Comments: "We saw three vultures soaring high above the ponds and generally moving northwest. All three birds had typical vulture flight pattern, but one was a much stockier bird with blunt tail and less pronounced U-shaped profile. Both of us have seen black vultures kettling with turkey vultures in the US and we're very confident in this observation despite the bird being too distant to clearly pick up on white wing patches, etc. We were careful to rule out other possibilities (RTHA, other hawks, bald eagle, etc) before submitting this record."

- Comments: "Amazing find by Nathan Hood this morning in this quiet out of the way storm pond! Appeared to be a worn adult working into its pre-basic molt. Larger and bulkier than nearby LEYE. Dark overall plumage that looked sooty or dark brownish depending on the light as I photographed it getting close to sunset. White spotting on the upper back and on the wing coverts with white on the lower back into the top of the tail. The rest of the tail showed fairly dense white and dark barring. Obvious broken white eye arcs and a long dark (almost needle-like) bill with a wee bit of a droop at the very tip and orangish at the gape. Legs were dark with distinctive red joints and feet. It raised its wings several times and I was able to photograph the bright white undersides of the wings. Seen by MOBs. Managed to get some decent photos which I'll post on this checklist."

- Comments: "**MEGA-MEGA** ABA Code IV Rarity. Too many adjectives to represent this Sensational and Surreal discovery by Nathan Wood. Adult in unmistakable breeding plumage. Stout shorebird, slightly larger than associating Lesser Yellowlegs but bulky body and rich, dark plumage immediately stood out in crowded mudflats. Long, dark bill with slight droop at tip and deep reddish base and bold white eye arcs. Unique and distinct dark red legs with shanks and feet being the most red. Very cooperative as it spent entire time foraging and giving stunning views to all in attendance. Once again thanks to modern communication and the ability of Discord to get the word out near and far of this INCREDIBLE Bird!! And in the words of a Legendary Canadian, a " Fully Completely" unforgettable Lifer!! Photos TBA"

- Comments: "Great bird and great looks. Attracting quite the crowd, including the construction workers and nearby residents! Large-ish shorebird, larger than I expected and clearly larger than nearby Lesser Yellowlegs but smaller than Mallards and Ring-billed Gulls. Dark black was visible from quite a distance. Red base of bill, more apparent on lower bill but also on upper bill in the right light. Legs appeared mostly black, but reddish around the knees in the right light. Dense black barring on white under tail. Wings and back varied in appearance based on lighting. From mostly black with white spotting, to pinkish brown marbled, with white spotting. Grey eye ring appeared as large grey spot on the face when eyes were closed."

- Comments: "Was surprised to see shorebird habitat upon arrival. Quickly saw what appeared like an oiled dowitcher feeding with the frenzy of KILLs. Fired a bunch of shots and was pretty shocked what was looking back. GRYE sized greasy black shorebird with white speckling to the coverts. Reddish black legs and bill (long and slightly drooping). At this point, hands shaky and heart pumping, this almost looked like a Spotted Redshank (?!), checked the field marks and there could be no doubts. Amazingly cooperative for the many birders who visited. Later on it flew short distances, noting flashy white underwings, black and white barred uppertail, and long white stripe from rump to back. Appears to be starting definitive prebasic molt based on covert feathers (will study up later). A great moment in Cambridge birding history haha."

- Comments: "Amazing find by Nathan Hood this morning in this quiet out of the way storm pond! Appeared to be a worn adult working into its pre-basic molt. Larger and bulkier than nearby LEYE. Dark overall plumage that looked sooty or dark brownish depending on the light as I photographed it getting close to sunset. White spotting on the upper back and on the wing coverts with white on the lower back into the top of the tail. The rest of the tail showed fairly dense white and dark barring. Obvious broken white eye arcs and a long dark (almost needle-like) bill with a wee bit of a droop at the very tip and orangish at the gape. Legs were dark with distinctive red joints and feet. It raised its wings several times and I was able to photograph the bright white undersides of the wings. Seen by MOBs. Managed to get some decent photos which I'll post on this checklist."

- Comments: "**MEGA-MEGA** ABA Code IV Rarity. Too many adjectives to represent this Sensational and Surreal discovery by Nathan Wood. Adult in unmistakable breeding plumage. Stout shorebird, slightly larger than associating Lesser Yellowlegs but bulky body and rich, dark plumage immediately stood out in crowded mudflats. Long, dark bill with slight droop at tip and deep reddish base and bold white eye arcs. Unique and distinct dark red legs with shanks and feet being the most red. Very cooperative as it spent entire time foraging and giving stunning views to all in attendance. Once again thanks to modern communication and the ability of Discord to get the word out near and far of this INCREDIBLE Bird!! And in the words of a Legendary Canadian, a " Fully Completely" unforgettable Lifer!! Photos TBA"

Large-ish shorebird, larger than I expected and clearly larger than nearby Lesser Yellowlegs but smaller than Mallards and Ring-billed Gulls. Dark black was visible from quite a distance. Red base of bill, more apparent on lower bill but also on upper bill in the right light. Legs appeared mostly black, but reddish around the knees in the right light. Dense black barring on white under tail. Wings and back varied in appearance based on lighting. From mostly black with white spotting, to pinkish brown marbled, with white spotting. Grey eye ring appeared as large grey spot on the face when eyes were closed."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S266646235
- Comments: "Was surprised to see shorebird habitat upon arrival. Quickly saw what appeared like an oiled dowitcher feeding with the frenzy of KILLs. Fired a bunch of shots and was pretty shocked what was looking back. GRYE sized greasy black shorebird with white speckling to the coverts. Reddish black legs and bill (long and slightly drooping). At this point, hands shaky and heart pumping, this almost looked like a Spotted Redshank (?!), checked the field marks and there could be no doubts. Amazingly cooperative for the many birders who visited. Later on it flew short distances, noting flashy white underwings, black and white barred uppertail, and long white stripe from rump to back. Appears to be starting definitive prebasic molt based on covert feathers (will study up later). A great moment in Cambridge birding history haha."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S267572991
- Media: 6 Photos
- Comments: "I would have preferred to enter this as "Cormorant sp." but that option appears to not be available.
I was attending an event on private property adjacent to Soup Harbour when I was alerted to this bird. It appeared unwell (floating between rocks and being bumped into them by the waves, then swimming a short distance and climbing laboriously up onto a rock; it also has a damaged or diseased left eye). My focus was therefore primarily on its condition, and I didn't think much initially about ID, given that I needed to get back to the event and usually Double-crested is the only species to be expected in Ontario.
However, upon sharing some images with friends, it was pointed out that the relatively long tail and the breast plumage are more consistent with Neotropic Cormorant, although the bill is arguably more like a Double-crested. In retrospect, it was rather small - that didn't stand out so much because I observed it at unusually close range (within 5 m) so it *seemed* big at the time."

- Comments: "0910 hrs. Approx 800 meters offshore. Scope views of the iconic tri-colouration to upperside. Small (BOGU-like) in size, with agile flight; foraging low over the choppy water. We had several minutes to view it, and then it seemed to vanish (plenty of islands in that area). Very rare SDG bird (the last record for this county was in 1993, it appears). Lifer for Isabel and Mark!"

When it raised its wings it showed the white underwing with a striking dark buffy leading edge on each underwing (like the patagial bar on a Red-tailed Hawk). It was feeding all over this large dirt field on a sod farm. At times it was feeding way at back, then it disappeared behind a ridge, then it came closer to where we were at the road. Thank you Charmaine Anderson for finding this great shorebird."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S270252240
- Comments: "Amazing! Just before leaving I decided to do a quick scan of the horizon for raptors. First bird I noticed was immediately intriguing and I suspected BLVU, but with the distance and haze I was unsure. Eventually it joined up with some TUVU and I was able to confirm the differences in direct comparison. All black in appearance, with little to no dihedral, short and extremely broad wings, short tail, and quick snappy wingbeats.Only once at its closest approach did it soar at the right angle for me to see the bright whitish wingtips. Looking at maps I believe the bird was about 3.5 km away from my viewpoint, across the bay to the northwest, somewhere between Johnson's Beach and the little point ~1 km east of there. Definitely a situation where the good scope came in clutch."

- Comments: "Now there are three! All juvenile plumaged birds with pigeon-like heads complemented by brown, white flecked crowns. Proportionately short, straight black bills. Bland facial pattern gives the birds a large-eyed appearance. Dark centered mantle feathers and scapulars edged white; wing coverts pale brown with dull brownish white edging. Overall scaly look to upperparts with contrasting clean white underparts with a slight buffy hue.Subtle dark brownish spotting on sides of upper chest. Pale yellow legs.Long primary projection beyond tertials but folded wings do not extend beyond tail. Very elegant looking birds. Closer views today very satisfying!"

- Comments: "Observered in very clear weather conditions in blue sky with 10x42 binoculars first at 100 m flying above with RBGU's. I was watching the Common Nighthawks and focused on searching them. Before noting anything, in few milliseconds I thought it was a STKI as I identified it with bare eye, with my familiarity of living in Ecuador. It showed all the features well, long tail, white head and body and long forked tail. First glided to west and dissapeared behind trees, then returned to east, glided again above us and moved further east, circled for a while with RBGU's and dissapeard towards East. The photos were taken with my Leica 10x42 and Samsung Android phone.
My quick notes that were used by the reviewer was:
"Clearly observed with a binoculars 10 times 42 at first hundred meters distance was gliding all the way and showing all the features including white hat and body Dark Wings and long by the forked tail the bird a very basic photo will be added taken with phone and binoculars.""

- Comments: "Observered in very clear weather conditions in blue sky with 10x42 binoculars first at 100 m flying above with RBGU's. I was watching the Common Nighthawks and focused on searching them. Before noting anything, in few milliseconds I thought it was a STKI as I identified it with bare eye, with my familiarity of living in Ecuador. It showed all the features well, long tail, white head and body and long forked tail. First glided to west and dissapeared behind trees, then returned to east, glided again above us and moved further east, circled for a while with RBGU's and dissapeard towards East. The photos were taken with my Leica 10x42 and Samsung Android phone.
My quick notes that were used by the reviewer was:
"Clearly observed with a binoculars 10 times 42 at first hundred meters distance was gliding all the way and showing all the features including white hat and body Dark Wings and long by the forked tail the bird a very basic photo will be added taken with phone and binoculars.""

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S270958081
- Comments: "Continuing bird refound this afternoon by Normand Laplante. Distant views with bins approx 50-75m away. Occasionally perceived yellow legs, buff breast (when walking towards me), brown colors on head area, darker upperparts with shades of gray (when walking away). Small head and dark bill occasionally seen depending upon background contrast. I did not see small dark eyes (too far). When seen in profile, the side of the belly was white, with a larger white area at the shoulder/side of the breast (buffy not apparent).
I was told that it was initially in the vicinity of KILL near Colonial, and about 75m east of Dunning, and then walked north into the field to forage. It was easy to lose track of, especially when it was not moving. However, in the mid-afternoon sun, its back (when the bird was facing away/east) seemed to contrast well with the surrounding tan fields: it appeared almost gray/navy and could be seen/tracked at times with the naked eye. Photos in S270985897."

- Comments: "Continuing bird refound this afternoon by Normand Laplante. Distant views with bins approx 50-75m away. Occasionally perceived yellow legs, buff breast (when walking towards me), brown colors on head area, darker upperparts with shades of gray (when walking away). Small head and dark bill occasionally seen depending upon background contrast. I did not see small dark eyes (too far). When seen in profile, the side of the belly was white, with a larger white area at the shoulder/side of the breast (buffy not apparent).
I was told that it was initially in the vicinity of KILL near Colonial, and about 75m east of Dunning, and then walked north into the field to forage. It was easy to lose track of, especially when it was not moving. However, in the mid-afternoon sun, its back (when the bird was facing away/east) seemed to contrast well with the surrounding tan fields: it appeared almost gray/navy and could be seen/tracked at times with the naked eye. Photos in S270985897."

Legs appeared dark/black but it was standing in water, with only limited exposure. Pink blush to chest. I noticed white spots on folded primaries but I would not say they were large.

I did not have the ability to ID this one correctly, and I read about it later in a Discord post where it was ID'd by Clifford Rostek based upon photos taken by others this morning. Adult in breeding plumage with some white feathers coming in on the black cap. Upperparts were darker gray than RBGU. Size smaller than nearby RBGU. Prominent eye-arcs. Legs appeared dark/black but it was standing in water, with only limited exposure. Pink blush to chest. I noticed white spots on folded primaries but I would not say they were large. A great look at this species!"

Franklin's Gull (Leucophaeus pipixcan) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Sep 04, 2025 09:45 by Christopher G. Harris
- Comments: "A small gull, slightly smaller than the nearby Ring-billed Gulls. This bird was mostly in breeding plumage showing black hood with some white feathers on the front of the forehead. The bill was red. Also clearly visible were the two white arcs, one above the eye and the other below the eye. The mantle was dark. White tips were visible on the ends of the primary feathers. The leg colouration could not be determined as the bird was standing in water almost to its hips with legs barely visible. There was some pinkish tinting on the lower breast and belly. In my experience watching many Franklin's Gulls in Saskatchewan this pinkish wash is most pronounced on the breast of Franklin's Gulls when they first arrive in the spring (late March to early April) and dulls as the breeding season progresses. So seeing this bird having this pink tinting or blush was surprising given the date of Sept 4th. I will look through my photos to see if any are worthy of inclusion."

- Comments: "A small gull, slightly smaller than the nearby Ring-billed Gulls. This bird was mostly in breeding plumage showing black hood with some white feathers on the front of the forehead. The bill was red. Also clearly visible were the two white arcs, one above the eye and the other below the eye. The mantle was dark. White tips were visible on the ends of the primary feathers. The leg colouration could not be determined as the bird was standing in water almost to its hips with legs barely visible. There was some pinkish tinting on the lower breast and belly. In my experience watching many Franklin's Gulls in Saskatchewan this pinkish wash is most pronounced on the breast of Franklin's Gulls when they first arrive in the spring (late March to early April) and dulls as the breeding season progresses. So seeing this bird having this pink tinting or blush was surprising given the date of Sept 4th. I will look through my photos to see if any are worthy of inclusion."

Sabine's Gull (Xema sabini) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Sep 06, 2025 18:13 by Kalvin Chan
- Media: 3 Photos
- Comments: "Juvenile at the very tip. Seen in flight but mostly preferred to sit in the water just offshore, occasionally flying. Wing pattern in flight bold, unmistakable. Everyone was able to see the bird well, but still only poor digiscopes.
To my eye, this bird was a different individual than yesterday's. The juvenile yesterday looked to be further along in its preformative molt, with a cleaner facial pattern and more well-defined ear spot than today's. I thought it appeared more similar to a Bonaparte's. This bird was a lot duskier on the back of the head extending to the eye, looking more like a young Franklin's."

Found by Stu Mackenzie not long before we arrived. Nice one!"

- Comments: "Discovered around 0815 along Erie Ave at the lighthouse. Last observed 835 on the corner of Lighthouse Crst and Erie. Make. Details forthcoming. Long Point’s first! #407
Found on LPBO’s daily census around 0815 directly at the driveway to the Old Cut Lighthouse on Erie Blvd. I watch the bird for a few minutes working its way through the tops of Scott’s Pine. Loosely associating with a mixed flock of ~30 warblers dominated by BBWA and CMWA. Flock was moving west, but TOWA not as eager to move. Last observed around 835 on the corner of Lighthouse Crst and Erie. Other observers say it as late at 1000 farther west, but never farther than Old Cut BLvd.
Description:
Small ‘BTNW-type’ warbler. Generally small and short stature. White underneath was obviously different from BTNW I’m used to and the lack of yellow in the flanks and vent area apparent. Light black streaking. The tail was black with outer white webbing to exterior rectrices. Black centres to some under tail coverts. Back greenish-gray leading up over the green head. Face had a prominent yellow eye line, black facial patch, and yellowish throat and upper breast. Slight smudge of black in the lower throat area. Wash of yellow in the upper breast. Wings largely gray with two distinct white wing bars. Looks to be a young male."

- Comments: "Juvenile at the very tip. Seen in flight but mostly preferred to sit in the water just offshore, occasionally flying. Wing pattern in flight bold, unmistakable. Everyone was able to see the bird well, but still only poor digiscopes.
To my eye, this bird was a different individual than yesterday's. The juvenile yesterday looked to be further along in its preformative molt, with a cleaner facial pattern and more well-defined ear spot than today's. I thought it appeared more similar to a Bonaparte's. This bird was a lot duskier on the back of the head extending to the eye, looking more like a young Franklin's."

- Comments: "Discovered around 0815 along Erie Ave at the lighthouse. Last observed 835 on the corner of Lighthouse Crst and Erie. Make. Details forthcoming. Long Point’s first! #407
Found on LPBO’s daily census around 0815 directly at the driveway to the Old Cut Lighthouse on Erie Blvd. I watch the bird for a few minutes working its way through the tops of Scott’s Pine. Loosely associating with a mixed flock of ~30 warblers dominated by BBWA and CMWA. Flock was moving west, but TOWA not as eager to move. Last observed around 835 on the corner of Lighthouse Crst and Erie. Other observers say it as late at 1000 farther west, but never farther than Old Cut BLvd.
Description:
Small ‘BTNW-type’ warbler. Generally small and short stature. White underneath was obviously different from BTNW I’m used to and the lack of yellow in the flanks and vent area apparent. Light black streaking. The tail was black with outer white webbing to exterior rectrices. Black centres to some under tail coverts. Back greenish-gray leading up over the green head. Face had a prominent yellow eye line, black facial patch, and yellowish throat and upper breast. Slight smudge of black in the lower throat area. Wash of yellow in the upper breast. Wings largely gray with two distinct white wing bars. Looks to be a young male."

Townsend's Warbler (Setophaga townsendi) (1)
- Reported Sep 08, 2025 09:33 by Dave Jolly
- Comments: "After a 1 hour search the bird was spotted around the same area as yesterday by Jude, Luke and George at the gate along the fence line on the trail south of the banding station. Feeding high in the canopy of Scotch Pines. Unfortunately, the lighting too poor for decent photos with pine needles obscuring good clear views. Most of the time the bird was directly above. The best views show the undertail coverts, belly and throat. It was difficult to see the dark "mask" around the ariculars, but it was visible in the field. The bird also displayed the same field markings as yesterday - streaked flanks, strong white wing bars, yellowish head (as opposed to light orange), throat and breast. On top of this challenge, there was an adult female basic plumage Blackburnian Warbler in the same vicinity, which confused some birders. The BLWA, however, displayed light streaking on the breast and an eye line."

- Comments: "After a 1 hour search the bird was spotted around the same area as yesterday by Jude, Luke and George at the gate along the fence line on the trail south of the banding station. Feeding high in the canopy of Scotch Pines. Unfortunately, the lighting too poor for decent photos with pine needles obscuring good clear views. Most of the time the bird was directly above. The best views show the undertail coverts, belly and throat. It was difficult to see the dark "mask" around the ariculars, but it was visible in the field. The bird also displayed the same field markings as yesterday - streaked flanks, strong white wing bars, yellowish head (as opposed to light orange), throat and breast. On top of this challenge, there was an adult female basic plumage Blackburnian Warbler in the same vicinity, which confused some birders. The BLWA, however, displayed light streaking on the breast and an eye line."

- Comments: "Individual bird seen with flock of cedar waxwings. Identified by Gerry Bird who is well acquainted with WETA , seeing it regularly in Mexico in the winter and in Yellowknife in the summer. The bird was a fairly bright yellow, lacked any orange on its face. While still very dark, the back and wings, completely with white wing bars, were not striking, jet black that you see in a breeding adult male. And it was also discontinuous, there were some light inclusions into the back, making for a more blotchy, black appearance."

- Comments: "Individual bird seen with flock of cedar waxwings. Identified by Gerry Bird who is well acquainted with WETA , seeing it regularly in Mexico in the winter and in Yellowknife in the summer. The bird was a fairly bright yellow, lacked any orange on its face. While still very dark, the back and wings, completely with white wing bars, were not striking, jet black that you see in a breeding adult male. And it was also discontinuous, there were some light inclusions into the back, making for a more blotchy, black appearance."

Crested Caracara (Caracara plancus) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Sep 16, 2025 13:48 by Gary Dowe
- Media: 1 Photo
- Comments: "Roughly cowbird-sized songbird with bright yellow head, neck, breast and belly, chunky tanager-like bill, and contrasting black back and wings, on which light wing bars were clearly visible. We got excellent views of the bird through binocs (in full sunlight for at least ten minutes at a distance of about 20 meters) when it flew in and perched in the top of a tree beside some cedar waxwings we were watching in the east, day-use campground at around 2:00 pm. It looked to be about the same size as the waxwings, but the “jiz” was totally different. There was no orange visible on face, and the back - while still quite dark - appeared a little more patchy and of a slightly softer shade than the jet black back and wings of a breeding plumage male. Perhaps an immature male? One of the observers spends winters near Lake Chapala, Mexico and is very familiar with this species, also seeing them occasionally during the summer in Yellowknife, NT. The bird in question is the one to the right of the two uppermost cedar waxwings in the attached, poor quality cell phone photo."

- Media: 1 Photo
- Comments: "Roughly cowbird-sized songbird with bright yellow head, neck, breast and belly, chunky tanager-like bill, and contrasting black back and wings, on which light wing bars were clearly visible. We got excellent views of the bird through binocs (in full sunlight for at least ten minutes at a distance of about 20 meters) when it flew in and perched in the top of a tree beside some cedar waxwings we were watching in the east, day-use campground at around 2:00 pm. It looked to be about the same size as the waxwings, but the “jiz” was totally different. There was no orange visible on face, and the back - while still quite dark - appeared a little more patchy and of a slightly softer shade than the jet black back and wings of a breeding plumage male. Perhaps an immature male? One of the observers spends winters near Lake Chapala, Mexico and is very familiar with this species, also seeing them occasionally during the summer in Yellowknife, NT. The bird in question is the one to the right of the two uppermost cedar waxwings in the attached, poor quality cell phone photo."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S274322536
- Comments: "Appeared to be a sub-adult intermediate morph flying low (about double tree top height) to the north of the viewing platform at 9:20am EST. Initially spotted by Tom B. Several of us got on the bird and could see it was a buteo and immediately noted the long pointed wings held in a slight dihedral. Luckily, it soared up in a single circle over the field so I was able to get my scope on it and see much more detail. The underwings were typical of SWHA with lighter underwing coverts at the front of the wings and dark flight feathers to the back of the wings. This bird showed a bib building in on the chest and a dark head. Wingtips exhibited 4 fingers giving the bird the more pointed wing look and the fingers were black. The SWHA was seen by many observers but unfortunately no one with a camera got a shot off before it disappeared behind the tree line to our north."

- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S274322536
- Comments: "Appeared to be a sub-adult intermediate morph flying low (about double tree top height) to the north of the viewing platform at 9:20am EST. Initially spotted by Tom B. Several of us got on the bird and could see it was a buteo and immediately noted the long pointed wings held in a slight dihedral. Luckily, it soared up in a single circle over the field so I was able to get my scope on it and see much more detail. The underwings were typical of SWHA with lighter underwing coverts at the front of the wings and dark flight feathers to the back of the wings. This bird showed a bib building in on the chest and a dark head. Wingtips exhibited 4 fingers giving the bird the more pointed wing look and the fingers were black. The SWHA was seen by many observers but unfortunately no one with a camera got a shot off before it disappeared behind the tree line to our north."

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.
Unmistakable 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; photos by myself and Maria."

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."

- 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!"

- 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"

Round head, upright posture, large dark eye, slight eye ring, shortish dark bill, dull yellow legs, brown scaling on back, some spotting on upper breast, light buffy wash through face, breast, and down to flanks. Something unseen by us put the majority of the shorebirds up and they flew away to the North at about 1:30 PM.

Viewing angle was challenging, looking into choppy, white water — just about direct sunlight, too. Noted a compact, gracile loon with a small, roundish head, and a slender bill. Plumage details were difficult to discern, but the bird appeared “dark” even though it was backlit in the white, choppy water. At one point, I could see the black/white delineation line down the neck, and the “puffy” naped appearance. I couldn’t discern the “chin strap” field mark, but views of the gestalt and neck plumage details were sufficient enough to make an ID determination. Other birders successfully twitched the sighting, and Andrew Brown managed a record photo of the bird."

- Comments: "Rare (Not reported every year in Prince Edward County). Successful search for bird found earlier in the afternoon by Jon Ruddy of Eastern Ontario Birding and reported on Discord. Sighted ~ 300m due west off tip of Point Petre at concrete abutment, associating loosely with a small feeding group of Double-crested Cormorants. Record photo secured by Andrew Brown."

- Comments: "JPR comments: On and off observed from 1330 to 1337 hrs. Approx 200-250 meters offshore; loosely associating with a raft of ducks and cormorants. Viewing angle was challenging, looking into choppy, white water — just about direct sunlight, too. Noted a compact, gracile loon with a small, roundish head, and a slender bill. Plumage details were difficult to discern, but the bird appeared “dark” even though it was backlit in the white, choppy water. At one point, I could see the black/white delineation line down the neck, and the “puffy” naped appearance. I couldn’t discern the “chin strap” field mark, but views of the gestalt and neck plumage details were sufficient enough to make an ID determination. Other birders successfully twitched the sighting, and Andrew Brown managed a record photo of the bird."

- Comments: "Continuing adult bird in non-breeding plumage found previously on September 28th. Cocoa brown head, neck, and underparts including the crural feathers covering the upper half of the tibia. Extensive fine white streaking throughout the head and neck areas. Dark (not red) iris and dark facial skin covering the loral region. The loral region was bordered above by a narrow greyish white line (did not appear to be tinged light powder blue) extending forward from above the midpoint of the eye and across the bridge of the maxilla to above the midpoint of the opposite eye; a similar-coloured line extended from below the midpoint of the eye along the lower margin of the loral region, terminating at the base of the lower mandible. The sickle-shaped bill was battleship grey in colour and was markedly downcurved over slightly more than half the distal length. The upperparts were glossy black with varying amounts of emerald green sheen that flucuated with the shifting angles of the bird as it actively fed 15-25 metres offshore in shallow water adjacent to the bike path. An emerald green patch was noted in the mantle as well. Leg colour was entirely blackish grey. The bird was observed catching two struggling leeches (which it had a little difficulty swallowing) and what appeared to be two black aquatic snails (species?). Most of the time while feeding, the bird's bill was 90% submerged and the visible portion above water was rapidly opening and closing in unison. An excellent find for Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry!!! Photographs taken by Martha Burchat are attached."

- Comments: "Continuing adult bird in non-breeding plumage found previously on September 28th. Cocoa brown head, neck, and underparts including the crural feathers covering the upper half of the tibia. Extensive fine white streaking throughout the head and neck areas. Dark (not red) iris and dark facial skin covering the loral region. The loral region was bordered above by a narrow greyish white line (did not appear to be tinged light powder blue) extending forward from above the midpoint of the eye and across the bridge of the maxilla to above the midpoint of the opposite eye; a similar-coloured line extended from below the midpoint of the eye along the lower margin of the loral region, terminating at the base of the lower mandible. The sickle-shaped bill was battleship grey in colour and was markedly downcurved over slightly more than half the distal length. The upperparts were glossy black with varying amounts of emerald green sheen that flucuated with the shifting angles of the bird as it actively fed 15-25 metres offshore in shallow water adjacent to the bike path. An emerald green patch was noted in the mantle as well. Leg colour was entirely blackish grey. The bird was observed catching two struggling leeches (which it had a little difficulty swallowing) and what appeared to be two black aquatic snails (species?). Most of the time while feeding, the bird's bill was 90% submerged and the visible portion above water was rapidly opening and closing in unison. An excellent find for Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry!!! Photographs taken by Martha Burchat are attached."

- 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."

- 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."

We refound it along the south east footpath in the airfield after extensive searching about 50m from the main bike path. 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!"

Refound this morning just after 1000h by Mike Burrell and Colin Jones (after a few hours of searching!), associating closely with a flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers. Seen on two occasions by me, some time apart. Record photos. First record for Algonquin Provincial Park, and the second record for Ontario and Canada. Strong contender for the best bird ever found in Algonquin Park!"

- 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."

- Comments: "**MEGA! 2nd record for Ontario and Canada, even representing one of the few records for eastern North America. Found by Micheal and Britta Runtz the previous evening (October 16) and remarkably refound this morning at 1000hrs by Mike Burrell.
First basic male (tentatively) flying from treetop to treetop with a large group of YRWA in the north side of the airfield. Small, energetic warbler with a glowing yellow beard and unibrow. Gray upperparts, two narrow white wingbars, fine dark streaking along flanks on whitish underparts.
Once while foraging and once in flight, the bird gave a short high pitched ¨tink-like¨ vocalization."

- Comments: "Awesome find by Mike and Britta Runtz on Thursday (Oct 16th). Small, active warbler with bright yellow throat + eyebrow and whitish underparts with some dark flank streaking. Foraging with a group of 20+ YRWA and some kinglets at the back edge of the airfield. Frequently moving around and disappearing for several minutes at a time. Around 3:40pm we saw small groups of YRWA take off from the trees and fly SW over the airfield. The GRWA then joined one of these small groups, gaining height and disappearing. It was seen in flight by one birder who was walking across the airfield at time, but was otherwise not seen against after this observation. My feeling is this group was actively migrating out of the area when we last saw them ~ I’ve seen yumps do similar mid afternoon takeoffs during the fall before, especially on days with poor weather such as this.

- Comments: "Fleeting views of this hyperactive bird in the upper realms of the conifers bordering the south side of the old airfield, sometimes under less than ideal lighting conditions. Golden yellow throat and upper chest contrasting with white underparts and undertail noted. White-tipped wing coverts. Could not get decent, prolonged views of the extent or thickness of flank barring or a complete view of the grey mantle. Concentrated on facial pattern. Best view was when it landed in a birch tree that was sandwiched between conifers affording a quick view of the thick golden yellow supraloral region. No vertical white marking behind eye and auriculars as seen on a Yellow-throated Warbler. One poor view of the bird flying overhead with several YRWAs and, after briefly landing in a dead tree, continuing its sortie across the open airfield to the north side. Kudos to Mike and Britta Runtz for finding this exceptional rarity. And thank you to the patience and persistence of fellow birders for relocating and staying on the bird as it continued its circuit around the airfield __ a true group effort! I have a number of previous personal sightings of this species from trips to Arizona but I dare say this was the most challenging sighting of all!"

- Reported Oct 25, 2025 15:15 by Steve Proud
- Comments: "Seen well and at length fly-catching very successfully from a utility wire across from parking area. Ongoing mega rarity found by Paul Pratt. Multiple observers, record photos taken. Kingbird with heavy black bill, and a dark mask from base of bill through the eye/cheek area. Shorter, more slender notched tail than on Eastern Kingbird, didn't fan it as much while hunting. Some yellowish washing under wings and onto upper flanks, seen very well through Ellen's scope. Could be mistaken at a distance for a shrike, was my impression."

Gray Kingbird (Tyrannus dominicensis) (1) CONFIRMED
- Reported Oct 24, 2025 16:50 by Sheldon McGregor
- Media: 5 Photos
- Comments: "Found earlier in the day by Paul Pratt an inveterate finder of rare birds. We arrived on the scene at 16:50 only to find that the bird had been flushed about 10 minutes earlier by heavy farm equipment and had disappeared. We wandered the road with a couple of others for about 25 minutes with no sign. There was a tall hedgerow - almost a tiny woodlot - adjacent to the gas pipeline yard where it had been seen. As we walked over to this copse, for at least the third time suddenly up it flew and perched near the top of some dead branches where we studied it for 10 or so minutes. It moved to a lower perch where we left it after a total of about 20 minutes of study.
Kingbird prototype but with a chestier look and slightly shorter (and slightly forked) tail. Large wedge-shaped, sharply pointed bill. Grey upper parts with a "smudgy" darker mask through the eye. Wing feathers dark edged in white. Under parts white except under tail where slightly "peachy"."

I remarked to Sheldon McGregor who was driving that it was a small white heron, probably a SNEG, but we had bigger fish to fry. Only later did we learn that it was a Little Blue Heron."

- Comments: "Found earlier in the day by Paul Pratt an inveterate finder of rare birds. We arrived on the scene at 16:50 only to find that the bird had been flushed about 10 minutes earlier by heavy farm equipment and had disappeared. We wandered the road with a couple of others for about 25 minutes with no sign. There was a tall hedgerow - almost a tiny woodlot - adjacent to the gas pipeline yard where it had been seen. As we walked over to this copse, for at least the third time suddenly up it flew and perched near the top of some dead branches where we studied it for 10 or so minutes. It moved to a lower perch where we left it after a total of about 20 minutes of study.
Kingbird prototype but with a chestier look and slightly shorter (and slightly forked) tail. Large wedge-shaped, sharply pointed bill. Grey upper parts with a "smudgy" darker mask through the eye. Wing feathers dark edged in white. Under parts white except under tail where slightly "peachy"."
