I love gardening. I enjoy sitting on my back porch amid a myriad of flowers and watching the wildlife. I could do this for hours. Sadly, this summer my allergies have been fierce and severely limited my outdoor time. Thankfully, my family room and kitchen face the backyard and have a lovely wall of windows. So, I can still sit and enjoy the garden from there. Every year, I plant giant zinnias along the fence line. They get about 4 feel tall and the finches love them! We have had some…

This is another shot of a tropical bird at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver. The conservatory is a large, domed enclosure that supports a variety of tropical birds that fly freely and plants that grow in a hot house like environment. For safety and research, all of the birds are banded (note the red band on the leg). Unfortunately, I have not been able to identify the species. The photo was taken in March 2010, with an Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

The wild Canary is also known as the Atlantic Canary, Island Canary or Common Canary. This small finch was named for its native range: Spain's Canary Islands in the eastern Atlantic.
