This lovely species of bird is the first brightly colored bird that I ever encountered here in Edmonton. Up to this point I had only ever noticed the plainly colored species around me. In fact, I didn't notice many of the smaller bird species at all. Since my only interest at the beginning of my bird watching experience, was in hawks. Raptors continue to be my motivating and main interest when ever I head out on bird watch.
However, this little bird is responsible for creating in me some excitement and enthusiasm for the discoveries to be made in seeking out the smaller bird species. Perhaps I only noticed it, because this particular bird was sporting it's breeding colors at the time. These birds are much plainer in coloring during the non-breeding season after all.
