Following the loss of Sara's mother last week, we haven't been posting here or on YouTube.

We plan to be back starting next week with a new video on Thurs Nov 27th.

We would like to thank everyone for the messages of support we have received. We may not be able to reply, but we have read them all.

For the world's smallest shorebird, The Least Sandpiper is aptly named. It weighs in at around the same as an AA battery - just over 20 grams.

This bird and plenty more in our Quebec Birding video, out tomorrow (Thurs) at 1pm Eastern.

Rare bird sighted by me and my birding buddy Jason Lush on Tuesday. Caused some excitement in Durham Region, Ontario.

@aba.org Absolutely anything that ISN'T an American Tree Sparrow here in Toronto, ON

I'm just not ready for winter yet 🥶😂
What birds are you hoping to find in October?

Beautiful views over McLaughlin Bay yesterday morning when we were out birding - looking for some shore birds and any warblers that haven't abandoned us yet!

The "mighty" Brown Creeper weighs about as much as a handful of paperclips 📎
...but try watching a paperclip climb a tree! 🌳
Look closely at that rear claw - nature's grappling hook 🪝

Our birding trip through Quebec has begun. Hoping to pick up a lot of birds sighting to give our 350 Bird Challenge a kick... Here's a Least Sandpiper. Cute, but not a new bird for us!

We're heading to Quebec next week, hoping to add a few new #birds to our 350 Bird Challenge - and perhaps a few lifers. Content from Quebec coming soon!

While we are away, we can't edit videos. No new videos for a while. Please be patient Approx date for next video: Sept 25th.
