This blog is by an Estonian discovering her childhood dream country Canada. Based in Toronto, but sometimes traveling. Looking for an Estonian connection in the far away country and giving away tips about what to see, what to do, what to experience. Hence the name of the blog: Toronto. Canada. Estonia.

Rufous Hummingbird


I believe that this is Rufous Hummingbird. This was my first time seeing such bird and this is the only photo I have ever managed to snap of hummingbird flying. Quick and almost like a dream-like bird. It is hard to believe, but this little birdie can flap their wings possibly as high as 200 times per second, which is a bit out of this world, don't you think. Oh and if any of you is wondering what this hummingbird is trying to eat, the answer is sugar water, which they absolutely adore and with what it is easy to allure them to your porch.

That is not a fun fact about Estonia, but there are no hummingbirds in my country.
