Lifer! Solitary Sandpiper, at Bilberry Creek

At a shallow, very slow-moving part of the creek. At first I was trying to figure out if it was a Lesser or Greater Yellowlegs, but then I decided no -- it's a Solitary Sandpiper.

Lifer! Red-shouldered hawk, at derecho-caused clearing in the forest at Forest Valley

Lifer! Merlin, at Algonquin Park, Rock Lake campsite

Lifer! Alder Flycatcher, at BH fields

2 lifers! Indigo Bunting (!!!) & Black and White Warbler, at CM

Almost totally missed the indigo bunting!  Saw a bird in a tree, heard some generic cheeping, decided to take a peek through the binoculars and whoa!  Super cool!

7 lifers! Nashville Warbler, Grasshopper Sparrow, Clay Coloured Sparrow, Eastern Kingbird, Eastern Towhee, Brown Thrasher, Barn Swallow, at Burnt Lands
