The longest and most tiring drive we ever did just to see some rare migrants was the trip to Laoag before the year 2013 ended. We were fortunate to see this Black-necked Grebe all by its lonesome in a pond just as the sun was rising casting a golden glow on the waters. Although not a lifer (we've seen this species in California), it was still a thrill to see one in a most unlikely place. Not a very good photograph of the bird itself but we just like the golden effect of the image.
