Ontario (Canada) Birds

All pictures are links to larger versions.

All of these pictures are from Point Pelee National Park. More than just a migrant trap, Pelee is justly famous for warblers:

Black-throated green, Mourning, Yellow-rumped warblers

Yellow, Cape May, Chestnut-sided warblers (It was a cold day.)

Black-throated blue, Canada, Black-and-white warblers

Philadelphia vireo

Blue-gray gnatcatcher

Indigo bunting, female Eastern bluebird, Scarlet tanager

Male and female Rose-breasted grosbeaks

Red-headed woodpecker

White-crowned sparrow

Nelson's sharp-tailed sparrow

When a rare bird like a Nelson's sharp-tailed sparrow shows up, you get a Pelee moment. I estimated that about $ 100,000 worth of optics - only some of it shown here - were pointed at this bird.

And finally, an American goldfinch with an attitude
