After a painfully slow day of birding, I couldn't help but think about those photos of an adult male Vermilion Fly that showed up in my email inbox this morning. Painful!!!

So with McCown's Longspur, Laughing Gull, Golden-crowned Sparrow and Vermilion Flycatcher all seen in a similar time frame, in a similar area (far eastern Ontario, sort of). What happened?
Was it the stationary low pressure system that sat just outside of Ontario for several days last week? I'm guessing it might be - the birds were blown in, but it's taking a few days to find them. The GCSP has been around for 4-5 days now!

On that note, I need a break! I can't help but notice there is currently more Low Pressure centred over eastern Ontario. More birds on the way?
Vermilion Flycatcher would be nice. There was one at St. Clair NWA near here in late fall 1994 that was well-seen by many. Autumn is an exciting time of year!
