Another one of this fantastic male... it's great that hummingbirds are so tame, because they really are marvelous birds.
I am thrilled that this guy has shown up! I hope he comes back; off to the patio to take more photos. 😉
I was luckily to be able to watch this hummer while the sun set... the warm tones really cast a different kind of character to the photo than what I had gotten previously.
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.

Rare winter resident in Cornwall, southeastern Ontario.
Photographed at a distance on a road and quickly took off to the south as I photographed from my scooter.
On a quick trip out last weekend to local heathland, I spotted four different dragonflies within about 20 minutes - heaven!
A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, suborder Anisoptera (from Greek ανισος anisos "uneven" + πτερος pteros, "wings", because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). Adult dragonflies are characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, sometimes with coloured patches, and an elongated body. Dragonflies can be mistaken for the related group, damselflies (Zygoptera), which are similar in structure though usually lighter in build; however, the wings of most dragonflies are held flat and away from the body, while damselflies hold the wings folded at rest, along or above the abdomen. Dragonflies are agile fliers while damselflies have a weaker, fluttery flight. Many dragonflies have brilliant iridescent or metallic colours produced by structural coloration, making them conspicuous in flight. An adult dragonfly eye has nearly 24,000 ommatidia.
Dragonflies are predators, both in their aquatic larval stage, when they are known as nymphs or naiads, and as adults. Several years of their life are spent as a nymph living in freshwater; the adults may be on the wing for just a few days or weeks. They are fast agile fliers, sometimes migrating across oceans, and are often but not always found near water.
Amos 5:16 “Therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, the Lord: “Lamentation is in all broad places, and in all out-places they say, Oh! Oh! And called the farmer to mourning, and the skillful of wailing to lamentation.”

The broad-billed tody is endemic to the Americas, residing only on Hispaniola, an island consisting of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
They are small insectivorous birds, characterized by their bright green feathers, pink flanks and red throats.
A rare visitor to our area, Broad-winged Hawks winter in tropical forests of central America, then migrate to eastern North America, from the Gulf coast up to the boreal forest into central Canada. We were graced by this migrant's presence on a covid walk. Although Broad-winged hawks often travel in large groups during migration, this one was practicing social distancing. These hawks can travel up to 70 miles per day during migration.
