20171115 8098 Black-throated Gray Warbler.jpg

Ottawa West

Another shot of this little stray from the SW/pacific coast area. It looks pretty healthy in the above photo, but today there was an article and photo of it in our local paper. It appeared to be pretty cold as it was shivering in our current -14 to -21C temperatures. A well known birder whose picture of it was shown, indicated that he feared for its life as it huddled tight to a small tree trunk in freshly fallen snow.

P.S. Linda (hayl) just indicated that the little bird was found dead this past Monday.Sad, but thanks for the update Linda.

Beautiful shot. It is a sad fact of life that most rare strays in the bird world do not survive, unless they are taken to a bird rescue centre.
