Birds

Today, I spent the morning in the backyard watching the birds. I saw a multitude of hummingbirds, robins, chick-a-dees of various colours and sizes, a Northern Flicker, and two Eurasian Collared Doves. (Thanks Google for helping me identify the doves!) They have a nest in a nearby tree, and we often hear them, but don't usually see them. Today, they both landed on the fence not 10 feet away from me. These are picks of the Doves, and the Northern Flicker from the "allaboutbirds.org" website. And hummingbirds! So many of them this year! They come to the feeders and flowers every 1/2 hour or so. So, sitting in the back yard, you see an awful lot of them. And I'm really surprised at how close they get to me.
