:eek: holy smokels poor hummingbird.
I have seen a few cardinals. They showed up last year, so I'm really glad they decided to come back. . .now if they can just stay out of reach of my cats. . :(
I also saw a little bird about the size of a chicadee. Fairly plain markings but with a splash of orange on the top of it's head. . ?
Anyone know what that is??

There's something just thrilling about working in the kitchen, see something flying by through all the drab brown outside - and it's a splash of blue as a bluejay zooms by and perches on the gate. Just so beautiful!
I just noticed this thread now. In the spring I had a hawk visit my balcony!

Welcome to the National Bird Project
Help us determine Canada’s national bird!
There are more than 450 species of birds across Canada, but not one of them has been designated as our national bird — a title that for too long hasn’t been made official. It’s time to change that.
Welcome to Canadian Geographic’s National Bird Project, the goal of which is to help designate an official bird for Canada by 2017, the country’s sesquicentennial. And we want your help finding a species that can represent this nation of forest, prairie grassland, Arctic and sub-Arctic, maritime and wetland, agricultural and urban and many other habitats, so vote for your favourite species or contribute your own short essay today!

Looks like voting is still open.

Songbird SOS
The music of songbirds is vanishing from our forests, fields, and gardens. The change has been gradual, barely noticeable, but now the growing silence is alarming. Saving songbirds before it's too late.

Looks like DH before his first coffee lol.
Lots of hummingbirds zooming around my apartment looking for some nectar as it's been freezing weather around here lately.
Cedar wax wings, swooped in a pack of at least 20. What beauties, seemed to be eating berries off the juniper tree.
cedar wax wings ....so beautiful.

Saw a robin and a crow in December and a saw a northern flicker the other day.
The lady on the first floor of our apartment building has a bird feeder so we benefit with birds dropping by. I have seen a nuthatch, chickadees, and woodpecker in the last week - I think pilliated (is that right?)
I love birds and trees. We have a forested area across the street from us.
