One of our loveliest sights in the US, especially in the fall - Maroon Bells in Colorado.

We just got our first hummingbird of the season today - a blackchin, as always. I LOVE hummingbirds and was so excited to see him. A "painted&q

This is a broad-billed hummingbird I saw last week for the first time while visiting Southern Arizona. It's a gorgeous bird!
