The birding community has been buzzing about this one this week, and regular reports to ONTBIRDS have been tracking his every move. Thankfully he stuck around until the weekend, and today I drove up to Brampton for a look at this rarity — only the second ever record for Ontario. Phainopeplas are tropical relatives of the waxwings that range across Mexico and the extreme southwestern U.S., so he’s a long way from home.
I love the crest on this guy.
