holy smokels poor hummingbird.

Shock for me today as I just saw a hummingbird in our lilac bush. Too cold for him to be here and it is snowing out.

Funny, I've been thinking about hummingbirds lately. Used to see some when I was a kid, but it's been years since a sighting for me. They are soooo cool

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??

Finally saw a blue jay the other day . Such a pretty bird. And, though not a bird, finally saw my first dragon fly too.

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!
