Title: Finally a Hummer, first one we've noticed in 2 years
Post by: Rob'in'To on September 06, 2012, 08:07:51 AM

On Monday we were enjoying views of the CNE air show from our backyard.  The Snowbirds are good for half a dozen or so flybys over us which is a brief but cool thrill.  But somewhere during this, Angie took notice to a Hummingbird on our little feeder.  She hung around over the next 45 minutes, even chased away a second Hummingbird at one point.  This little one sure stole the show!  We are hoping for more through the next few weeks.

And in other news, our partial luesistic female House Sparrow remains with us.

And with them Snowbirds, we can hear them, but when they are coming over us, we have mere seconds to see them before they are gone.
