This fabulous little bird is a Long-tailed Silky Flycatcher. Despite the name, they mostly eat berries and forage for insects when they are feeding chicks. They are thought to be related to waxwings and used to be grouped in the same family. 🪶

Yesterday morning a new piece of track on the Lakeshore West was put into service.
This new track allows all trains to or from Niagara Falls to stop at West Harbour GO Station, increasing service in Hamilton and reducing rush hour travel times by up to 10 minutes per direction.
