One of the joys of visiting my father-in-law is wandering around his property in the Beaver Valley, near Markdale Ontario. There is abundant swampland, heavily-treed areas (old pine and huge cedar) and open fields and former orchards. This means a wide array of birds migrate through and nest there. Hummingbirds are not birds I have been around a lot, although I have seen them in forests north of Ottawa.

Selasphorus sasin

I suspect this is the (or one of the) very shy selasphorous hummingbirds resident in our backyard garden. If so, it is an Allen's Selasphorus sasin sedentarius
