First Nakusp Hummer

This morning – the last day in April – amidst the rain a male Rufous Hummingbird appeared at the feeder placed there but a few days before. It was – for me – an exciting way to start the day and all got a good quick view of the little fella.

Afternoon update; he's still about visiting the feeder and buzzing around the front yard.

Also this afternoon a quick walk to the waterfront met a few species;White fronted, Savanna and most surprisingly a Fox Sparrow, Yellow-rumped and Orange-crowned Warblers, Horned Grebe, Common Loon, Bufflehead, Coot, Common Merganser.
