The bird was either exhausted from a long flight leg or dying since it made no significant moves from its location at Queensport. I saw it coming and going to Canso, about a four hour interval, during which time it moved about four feet from standing in the water to sleeping on a overhanging limb. I wish it well. Here are three pics: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/Waders/0158.html Laura and I enjoyed our windy walk at Point Pleasant Park last Sunday and I managed to photograph a PIne Warbler in the pine trees by the eastern parking lot, three pics: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/Warblers4/0114.html I found an Orange-crowned Warbler at Crystal Crescent Beach Provincial Park: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/Warblers4/0113.html and http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/Warblers4/0154.html Duncan's Cove and Duncan Reef are always productive, even in mid winter for boreal birds and water fowl. A Boreal Chickadee posed there for me, two pics: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings2/0117.html and http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings3/0111.html The Brown Creeper has been a bugaboo bird for me. I've never been able to get a decent photo of this guy, a brown bird in deep shade moving rapidly along a brown tree but I am getting closer to success. Unfortunately I didn't have my large lens and fill-in flash this day, but here are three pics from my smaller lens: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings3/0108.html Here's a diverse mix of birds from various locations; American Crow, two pics: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings3/0107.html and http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings2/0114.html ; American Pipit, three pics: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings2/0115.html and http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings2/0118.html; Hairy Woodpecker, two pics: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/DovesToWoodpeckers/0127.html and Herring Gull, one pic: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/Aerialists/0108.html . The final bird of this set is the Horned Lark. This bird was foraging alone at the third beach, Crystal Crescent Beach Provincial Park and although the consensus leans towards a first winter Horned Lark, the yellow eye-ring had me thinking European Shore Lark. Perhaps others on the this list and beyond have more experience with first winter Horned and Shore Larks and can offer some insight. I have about as much experience with Shore Larks as I have walking on the moon.
