I've seen a couple of Black-capped Chickadee broods raised successfully =
at Three Fathom Harbour, as well as two broods of Willets.  In Halifax, =
my yard has seen lots of starling fledglings, but also good numbers of =
newly-fledged Song Sparrows.

Cheers,

  Hi All;

  This does not appear to be a great summer for breeding success.  In =
our yard the only evidence of fledged young is Common Grackles, and both =
Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers.  A bust so far for juncos, sparrows, jays, =
robins, finches, and doves.

  And the hummingbirds seem to have disappeared completely.  Three or =
four were around the feeders regularly up to a few days ago, but no sign =
of any now, and others nearby who feed hummers have reported the same =
disappearance. =20

  What is everyone else's experience?

  Cheers,

  Blake
