This is probably due to the shady and cool forest habitat it often seems to favour. http://www.hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Wildflowers3/0117.html Today I spotted a Pink Lady's Slipper Orchid at Oakfield Provincial Park. On June 1 I took advantage of the fine weather to enjoy almost four hours in the early morning sunshine at the Cole Harbour Heritage Park. This area is mostly open grasslands and short brushy areas with some re-grown mixed woodland but the lack of bird diversity is made up by the abundance of forest edge, open country and woodland birds. Scroll through the warblers here: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/Warblers5/0143.html and the flycatchers and thrushes here: http://hanstoom.com/StockPhotos/Birds/FlycatchersToWaxwings4/0112.html Three birds have been a nemesis to me, photography wise, due to their nature of either being hyper active or a resident of the forest canopy; the Nashville Warbler(hyper active and a canopy singer), Blue-headed Vireo(another canopy singer of the dark woodlands) and Alder Flycatcher. All three birds are easy to find by sight and sound but they are tricky to photograph.
