A Eurasian Wigeon was reported south of Cambridge on Bannister Lake a few days ago, so Chris Law and I decided to go check it out after work. It was a beautiful male bird and we quickly found it and had some good looks through our scope! The bird was probably about 700m away, so a bit out of the range of my camera, but I snapped a few record shots anyways. The chestnut collared head and yellow forehead stripe is distinctive even at a distance.

In other news, I was down near Sarnia for work the other day and had a minute to check out the shoreline. I had a few migrants including Yellow-rumped Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet and several Broad-winged Hawks along the shoreline. The weather was phenomenal, with temperatures climbing to 23 Celsius. From the look of the photo below, it could have been June!

I snapped one shot of a Broad-winged Hawk as it went over, not a great shot, but I like it anyways!
