I used my carry on space to bring down from the US my Vico Nature hummingbird feeder. This morning I had a Berylline Hummingbird come to the feeder that takes a video of the activity. They’re absolutely stunning and not present in California.

I've been in the UK for a few weeks recently, so lots of amazing lifers including Eurasian Bittern, European Stonechat, Purple Sandpiper, and many more! What's been stopping by near you?

Not to hog the platform. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/hummingbirds-flight-beauty-costa-anna-california/. This is a really beautiful short video about hummingbirds from the Cornell Lab all about birds. The slow motion helps understand how these little beings fly differently than other birs. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Monday.

We are looking into a birding north east Canada and the St Lawerence River. Has anyone spent anytime birding in this area? Do you have recommendations on guides or tour companies that you like? Thank you. We are planning for 2028 and are open to suggestions of time of year depending on migration though puffins are on my list to see. Thank you in advance.
