Although the quality of this picture is low, I thought the circumstances might make posting the picture worthwhile. The bird is a male Painted Bunting seen on June 12, 2009, on Akimiski Island, James Bay, Nunavut, Canada. As far as I have been able to find, this is not only Nunavut's first recording of the bird, but also the furthest north the species has ever been recorded (if I am wrong please correct me). It was seen by three researchers (Derek Mackenzie, Gabriel Foley, and Austin Taverner) on the island in the evening for about 45 minutes, after which it got too dark and the bird was not seen again. It certainly made our night!!! - Gabriel J. Foley, Photo credit: Derek W. Mackenzie
