A very rare visitor in the central interior of BC, as they usually stick closer to the coast when migrating north of here. My first ever sighting locally.

Nikon Z 9 & Z 800mm @ f/8, 1/1600, ISO 500, handheld from the kayak.

Lovely image, Pete, this really shines on the full screen view.

Glad you managed to document your rare sighting with such a nice memento.

I like the bg mixer of colours which adds to the image, well done PETE.

Great find, Pete, I also find it interesting to see the bird on a branch.

Nicely perched on that branch- a fine shot and a great memento for a rare sighting.
