Lance, did you get the April 2, 2008 report from Torbrook?

No sign of any yet at out location, near Yarmouth.  Our Japanese Quince =
buds are just starting to show, and hummingbirds and quince flowers tend =
to hit at the same time!

  Hi Everyone,

  I haven't seen anything regarding Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in Nova =
Scotia for a couple of weeks. Are they still at people's feeders? Did =
they all perish or move on? To give you all an idea of just how =
extraordinary the sightings were, here are the Nova Scotia first arrival =
dates 'reported' for the last 8 years:

  2007 - Apr. 21
  2006 - Apr. 14
  2005 - Apr. 23
  2004 - Apr. 23
  2003 - Apr. 28
  2002 - Apr. 30
  2001 - May 4
  2000 - Apr. 18

  If anyone out there can update the status of their early appearing =
hummingbirds I'd appreciate hearing about it.

  All the best,

  Lance
