This mask being used as nesting material in a Red-winged Blackbird nest says a lot about the mood of birding at Point Pelee this spring.
Very interesting coloration on this one. Possible melanistic or anerythistic
Killed and ate a gadwall. 10/10 very metal.
Rare on the Gulf coast.
Odd bird, which we concluded was either a Kamchatka Gull, an aberrant American Mew, or a Mew x Ring-billed. Odd characters included the obvious dark ring on the bill, distinct head streaking, pale eye, and Mew-like wingtip pattern. eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S2896958
Male and female foraging in wood next to trail. A major rarity for the area, maybe only the third known site for Ontario

Shark River Inlet, Monmouth Co, NJ.
This is a leucistic 1st cycle bird. The eye is bicolored, but the iris is still rather murky.
