Hey, any vagrant Mexican geese up there in BC? :)

(I've had a couple of strangers e-mail me the last year asking if it
is really true that hummers migrate on the backs of geese!)

No, but it may have hitched a ride on the Hooded Oriole currently at a Terrace, BC feeder. Hey, nectivores stick together. I include a post from Dick Cannings for anyone who would like to see this one:

Dear Birders:

For those of you contemplating going down to the coast to see the Xantus'
Hummingbird, you might want to add Terrace to your flight itinerary to take
a grand tropical bird tour. There has been a Hooded Oriole coming to a
hummingbird feeder there for about a week. Call Cheryl Thomas
(250-635-2506) for details.
