Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 22, 2021. A pond visitor. It doesn't bath like most birds but does a splash n' dash. It flies down to the water and glances off the surface then goes and preens. It may do this multiple times. Empidonax flaviventris Yellow-bellied Flycatchers don't stick around on the breeding grounds for long. They have one of the shortest stays of any Neotropical migrant, often less than 70 days.
