Had to go back to Cookstown for a quick visit, so I went for a walk along the Trans Canada trail in the evening.  Lots of birds singing, and spotted a hummingbird before it flew off! Also very buggy, so I wasn't able to get as many shots in as I would've liked to!

Eastern Kingbird

This bird's ID eluded me for quite a while - he stayed high in the trees, and I wasn't able to get a good shot.  I was able to record the song, and then was able to determine that it was a Warbling Vireo! This was a lifer for me (although I would really like to get a good photo of one!)

Eastern Wood Pewee - this is another lifer for me! At first, I mistook this bird as being an Eastern Kingbird, but the markings are slightly different, and there is a significant size difference between the two!
