For the world's smallest shorebird, The Least Sandpiper is aptly named. It weighs in at around the same as an AA battery - just over 20 grams.
This bird and plenty more in our Quebec Birding video, out tomorrow (Thurs) at 1pm Eastern.

The "mighty" Brown Creeper weighs about as much as a handful of paperclips 📎
...but try watching a paperclip climb a tree! 🌳
Look closely at that rear claw - nature's grappling hook 🪝

We're taking a few days to relax in Ontario's cottage country. Next video might be a little delayed, but we need a little rest after a frantic few months of birding (and filming and constant editing). Plus, it's a trip away for Sara's birthday.

A fairly rare Red-headed Woodpecker hanging out in Toronto's High Park for the last few days. Finally got a day off work to go see it yesterday. Only seen these occasionally in the south-west before.
