The Star Of Yellow Sidecar
June 16th, 2015
I'm back from vacation in Cape Breton. I'll have lots more to say about it soon, including my four lifers, all successfully photographed. But for now I just want to share this little beauty.

He was guarding a hummingbird feeder jealously--his mate was allowed to share it with him, but no one else. He found the wicker chair a handy perch for keeping an eye on things. This was at Yellow Sidecar B&B in Cap Le Moine, a little house on the coast in the middle of nowhere (to quote another B&B's proprietor: "no one stays in Cap Le Moine!...well, except you guys") with two very active hummingbird feeders and a gloriously overgrown tangle of a back yard, which I plowed my way into to enjoy the yellowthroats and alder flycatchers. It was not just a wonderful birder's B&B, it was a wonderful B&B period. I recommend it to anyone wanting an authentic experience of Cape Breton.
Next up, nesting seabirds on the Bird Islands!

Sounds like you had a wonderfully exciting time in Cape Breton. Your little Humminbird is so adorable! Looking forward to more pics (and stories) to come.

Nice catch of the colors, especially for a grey day!
Also, seconding the recommendation for Yellow Sidecar.
