loungin in a lawnchair on my laptop - and I just saw one of these fly up to these flowers about 10 feet away
so cool! It's wings were moving so fast it made a buzzing noise. It's really tiny - not that much bigger than a really big bumble bee.
I have hardly ever seen hummingbirds here in my life
at my parents quebec county house we had them alot.. if you like them you can buy really inexpensive little bottle you can suspend around your backyard with a red sugary liquid they love it!
Here are my birds! From left to right: Chopper, BBQ, Whitebeard, Black-Funeral-Doom-Metal and Chico. I think BBQ will die this year, she seems to have stopped to give eggs and she's already 3 years old.

cool! funny you should mention Cardinals cuz we had a pair outside our door yesterday
the male at the birdfeeder was pure red like your pic - but the female was sitting in a tree nearby - she wasnt nearly as colourful - more like this:
as you can see from this google map pic we have lots of trees and bushes and gardens on our property so all kinds of birds live here
years ago we had a Pileated Woodpecker in one of our trees for a couple weeks. they are very rare around here. the thing was friggin huge! it was so loud when it would be pecking holes it seriously sounded like some construction worker was hammering nails into a board
and last month... at like 3 AM... I had my window open and I heard one of these calling from somewhere nearby - Great Horned Owl
ya I was surprised to hear it. never heard it before. but our house is literally just a couple minutes walk from the Bruce Trail, so sometimes at like 3 AM I've heard Coyotes, too. I've seen foxes on our property, and late one night I even saw a little Coyote cub run Late one night I actually saw a little Coyote cub run across our lawn.
out on the trails I hear Great Horned Owls when the sun goes down. they have a really distinctive call. I recorded this one when I was walking home from a hike one night ->
PS - >
cool pic! that looks like a different kind of Hummingbird than the one I saw
nice!
PS - I have now discovered how nice it is to sit out int he backyard and surf the net - so relaxing!
the days of havng to sit inside on a nice day to get computer work done are over
the only problem is I need a battery that lasts longer - but the wireleass works fine
this is my new spot to chill on the lapptop ->
