Gold Finch: sadly, we don't see these birds much around the yard anymore: not sure if their numbers have fallen or what, but it's not good.

Lazilu Bunting: These were/are exotic to me because they are rarely seen and show up in the spring for a short time. I love the colours they present.

Anna's Hummingbird: very long tongues which help them reach for nectar. Without a close up of these birds at just the right time, we would not see it, or at least it would be hard to see.

Orange-crowned warbler: These birds migrate through our area in the spring and I am always excited to capture images of them. Taken near the Coquitlam Crunch pathway a couple years ago.
