Index of Subjects Speaking of Hummingbirds, is their unusual abundance this summer limited to NS, areas of unusually high rainfall or throughout their breeding range ? Was there a higher than normal number of adults, better survival of young or both ? Perhaps it it too early for this to have been sorted out. I saw Hummers 4 (3?) times this summer apparently working upper new growth of a White Ash tree that also had many small early instar hoppers of some kind at this same time. They look like highly ornamented walking isosceles pyramids from a Disney bug movie and had a tendency to fall and land on a white plastic table.
