The Broads (known for marketing purposes as The Broads National Park) is a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes in the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. The lakes, known as broads, were formed by the flooding of peat workings. The Broads, and some surrounding land, were constituted as a special area with a level of protection similar to a national park by the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988. The Broads Authority, a special statutory authority responsible for managing the area, became operational in 1989.
Horsey is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk within The Broads national park. It covers an area of 8.49 km² and had a population of 99 in 40 households at the 2001 census.

This juvenile Broad-winged hawk has been hanging around our bird feeders a lot lately. looking for a free lunch on our visitors. I have observed several meal attempts, but none successful.
This species is very similar to the Rufous Motmot. The most obvious difference in the field is size -- Rufous are strikingly larger. The blue chin and extensive green/blue underparts are also good marks. We saw Rufous more frequently than Broad-billed, but I'm not sure if they're actually less common than Rufous or if it was just our experience.

A March moonrise illuminates the mountains in Broad Pass near Cantwell, Alaska. This image was taken on a mid-winter camping trip into the nethers of the Broad Pass area with skis, dogs, sleds, and plenty of good stuff to eat. Way fun!

The Hummingbird Aviary allows observation of hummingbirds hovering so closely that visitors can feel the air disturbed by their wings. In breeding season, nests are near enough to allow viewing of the babies. The aviary houses four species that nest annually. The museum's Hummingbird Propagation Program is the only one of its kind in the world for North American hummingbirds. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona-Sonora_Desert_Museum
The Broad-billed male’s vivid red bill, emerald body, and glittering sapphire throat sets it apart from other U.S. hummingbirds. Most of this species’ range lies in Mexico, but it reaches the mountainous canyons of the southwestern U.S. during the breeding season. In courting the female, the male makes a precision flight display likened to a hypnotist’s swinging pocket watch. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Broad-billed_Hummingbird/over...
