They’re usually found much farther south, in California and Mexico, but they can be found up the western coast and into BC when there’s an early spring such as this year. They are very beautiful – iridescent blue, green and purple.
You’re welcome, Steve. This one lives in the west and usually much more southerly, too. They tend to travel into British Columbia only when there’s an early spring. Cheers.
Thank you, Allan. These don’t visit Canada or BC very often. They usually stay in the south but apparently arrive when we have earlier, warmer springs. They’re so pretty.
Yes, very much so. This was at a feeder outside a small sandwich shop; they have a lot of planters and hanging flower pots. I’ve seen hummers there before, but not this kind. Cheers
Fascinating absolutely fascinating… it’s fun watching her w all the birds.. feeding them by hand and knowing them .. she has them all figured out and they all have her figured out.. all kinds it’s a bird fairy land 😂.. we live on an island so it’s quiet and peaceful on there land and birds and deer and everything like to jump the fences and get a glimpse of this wonderland 😂
I lost my birth mom two years ago, but she sent me the most amazing mom and dad here on Anderson island , we’ve adopted one another and it’s been such a beautiful experience to learn so much from them, the most beautiful grounded people I am so blessed to be a part of.

So nice to see a hummingbird. We spotted one in the West End a few days ago, but not this version. Good capture Lynette. Allan

They like to live in Mexico and Central America but will come up the coast during an unusually warm, early spring. Cheers.
