Dozens of birders descended on george vancouver’s sundown Beach mungo park on dominicus to get a rare glimpse of a bird that avian enthusiasts say has never been recorded in Canada before.
Taiga flycatchers are ordinary at first glance.
But birder Ethan Moon, who was the first to spot the small bird on Christmas Day, says they are a rare sight in Canada as they usually breed in Eastern Russia and Mongolia and are known to migrate to northeast India, Thailand and China.
Moon says it's "a once-in-a-generation moment" to see the "little guy" after its long journey to Canada.
Another birder, Emma Sutherland, says watching the bird forage and bounce around was thrilling and memorable for her and her husband.
The news of the rare taiga flycatcher sighting is making its way around North America. Birder Jennifer Standish from Seattle says it was worth the trip to Vancouver to see it.
More to come.
