A Loggerhead Shrike in fescue prairie habitat near the westernmost part of Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, photographed by Christian Artuso on June 27th, 2010. This is an unusually northern record of this increasingly rare species in Manitoba.

Yellow Rail! It really wanted to approach when it heard another bird 'behind' me (my rocks making call) but finally realized that I was in the way right about when this picture was taken. It swam back to the grass and disappeared for good. Never heard-it just appeared along the sedge grass edge, where it sat for about a minute before swimming out. This photo was taken about a week before I was shown how to shoot in low light. So unfortunately, this is what I got. Bird reported calling for at least two days before I saw it by Andy Johnson. I got no response when I tried for the last time on the 9th.

This bird really wanted us to stop banding its chicks. Churchill, MB.

Agitated, as it had a mud nest in an outhouse about a dozen feet away. Southern Manitoba.
