If I could get this one away from the feeder I can clean it!
REALLY important to clean regularly, can be fatal to them if not done at least once a week. Mild soapy solution, lots of hot water and new sugar solution weekly, more often in hot climates. #birds #vancouverisland #arbutusridge

Some great hikes around Quebec, in order:
Town of Perce seen from Mont. Sainte Anne
Coastline from Cap-des-Rosiers at Forillon Park
Cap-Bon Ami beach at Forillon Park
Perce as seen from Bonaventure Island, near Le Trou-du-Chat, (where our Irish ancestors lived in the late 1700's)

Hummingbirds came back quickly after we were gone 3 weeks!
Hated to leave them without food, but you should change it at least once a week.

Estimated at 175 years old, this Bur Oak resides at what is now the Aurora Leisure Complex. This was farmland back in 1850’s when this was an acorn! #trees #auroraontario
