Question
I live in Havelock Ontario Canada I was just wondering if therte would be any kind of Humming Birds that live here. I have always loved Humming Birds but I have never seen one. I would also like to know if they are scared of people cuz I have two feeders out side for Humming Birds.

Thank - You
Charlene Yarkie

Answer
I do not know exactly where Havelock is. Hummingbirds are found in southern part of Ontario but not in the middle or northern parts. You should check with local birdwatchers to find out the answer to this question. They will come to feeders if they are around. Roger Lederer at Ornithology.com
