A first for me! Seen today North of Orangeville today on near the Luther Marsh. Directions can be found on the ONTBIRDS Archives, or you can contact me.

So much for Sunny skies today :(

"This bird is on the review lists for Ontario and anyone who observes it in the North or the South is asked to submit documentation (including photos if available) to the OBRC." says the caption of the picture. I hope you reported it  :wink:

Thanks!  I submitted both pictures to Frank & Sandra (the OFO Photo editors) earlier this evening.

I will make sure that I make a report to the OBRC tomorrow.

Now published on the OFO Website:

http://www.ofo.ca/photoalbums/current/A ... hercl.html

Does not look as good due to resizing.

Very nice Cody.  I was wondering how close photogs were able to get to this visitor.  I've been thinking of going, but haven't committed to the drive as yet :)

Thanks Moira! They were both taken at my maximum focal length which is 300mm, but I could have stayed at 250 and still have gotten a decent shot. The bird does not mind people but I did not want to use my flash and get the other birders mad at me :D
