Rufous Hummingbird (f) Lifer
Had another unique nature experience with a rare species for our area. A Rufous Hummingbird has been in the area and garnered a lot of attention.
This beauty normally migrates from Alaska down the west coast to southern Cal and Mexico. Some across into Texas and even in to Florida. A new bird guide I found shows a migration route from Alaska across to the top of Lake Superior and then along the Great Lakes and east to the Carolinas and down to Florida. Could this be why 4 have been documented in Southern ONT this fall???
Such a beautiful bird and such a late traveller ..... hoping that she moves along amd gets safely to her warmer climates.
Thank you Francis and Kim for sharing this awesome view of nature with the area birders and photographers.
