A juvenile, if I am correct – and a rather rare bird in Shanghai, this being rather at the southern end of the wintering breeding range.

But some species remain elusive when they shouldn’t be. Even a big trip to Canada, though it turned up many other delightful species ( Boreal Owl , anyone?) Wood Stork and White Pelican. Orchard Oriole and Prothonotary Warbler. When I went back the next day, they were still there.
