Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

If anyone could help identify...it would be appreciated. The bird had deep purple at the base of the throat, which lead me to think of Black-chinned Hummingbird. However it doesn't appear to range to the coast.
Taken at Richmond Nature Park, BC.

Another species cracks the 100 upload club :)
North Saanich, BC. It's interesting how this bird's throat is rather dark.

Seen in Richmond, BC. The western birds - swainsoni - seem quite different that the eastern. Smaller, greener, and sound different as well.
