Index of Subjects We still have at least three hummers, probably all juveniles, possibly an adult female among them. The male left Aug.23rd (not seen the 24th). Their little 'tummies' are getting very fat - that's when I know they are soon going to leave. Six species of warblers today, 2 vireo species, a Least Flycatcher, and a Wh.-thr. Sparrow, lots of Chickadees and Red-eyed Vireos passing through. All through August we have had a warbler or two most days, but numbers and varieties are picking up in recent weeks. Lois Codling L.
