Whoops, I added this guy to the list but forgot to upload the picture! lol.
From the backyard yesterday (near Knox Mountain Park, Kelowna) ... Cedar Waxwing.



Enjoy!

(I missed our Bohemian Waxwings this year ... they never came around as usual. They were replaced (seemingly) with a million Robins. haha. Hopefully they'll show up later this year for my normal add...)

Here is a Semi-palmated Plover from about 3 weeks back at Englishman River Estuary.

Just to round out the "completeness" of the List, allow me to add the female Rufous Hummingbird to supplement the male Rufous already posted. Sunny days at London Heritage farm with a blooming Honeysuckle bush and a small stand of Larkspur flowers have got a pair of Anna's and Rufous Hummingbirds fighting over territory. A couple hours watching the airshow and every 15-20 minutes one of them manages to get a few moments on the flowers, so gotta be quick. Here's the female Rufous Hummingbird:

Somehow the birdbath made this Chestnut -backed Chickadee even cuter.

The birdbath is proving to be tempting for those species that like to hide in the tree tops. Here is a female Red Crossbill, with a Pine Siskin. I've never seen so many Pine Siskins as this year.

Here is a female Hairy Woodpecker just off my deck. I will try and get the male that comes around sometimes.

This House Wren comes every year, builds a nest , advertises it, does not find a mate, and then moves on. Here he is still looking optimistic.

Managed to capture a Willow Flycatcher near Summerland.

Hi everyone. You have been doing an incredible job. So many birds, and so many great photos. I've been enjoying catching up by viewing them all. Wow. I make a modest contribution with this Catbird, viewed at, you guessed it, Catbird Slough in Pitt Meadows.

I believe that this is a Bank Swallow, based on the underwing pattern and brown breast band. Taken in Coquitlam.
