Index of Subjects What a gorgeous day!! Another one. Aren't we lucky! Just watched a juvenile Yellow Bellied Sapsucker work its way about the Maple tree on the Liverpool side of the property. Had a Hummingbird here awhile ago. I am assuming a Ruby Throat. Quite startled me as I didn't realize what it was until just after it left. I thought I saw one in the Estates last evening so could be the same one. It was at the feeder as was the other. Most of the late ones this year have not been. A Facebook friend posted a photo she had just taken of a Fritillary, yesterday. There are a few Downy Woodpeckers moving about the property; one seems very interested in one of the swallow houses. On the ground below the barn one, there was the remains of a baby bird, It was very flattened, maybe had been tread upon. I couldn't Id it, not enough feathers. It is the house that had very confusing swallow attempts at nesting. I saw 5 fledge so maybe there was a nest over a nest. I can try to get Steve to get the houses down so I can clean them, then put them up again for winter protection. It is pretty quiet now. A few transient Chickadees, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays moving through. Some small twittering birds high up I cannot see to id for sure but figure they are Yellow Rumped warblers. . A number of Starlings are practicing their maneuvers overhead but leaving the feeders alone for the most part, thankfully. It appears we have a couple fresh Chipmunks visiting the feeders. Very sleepy, all dewy and clean looking. I wish them luck. A cat brought a very dead Flying Squirrel to me. Not my cat (mine is indoors) but one of the ones I tend from time to time. I cannot believe the carnage they are causing. I know the cat's owners are not going to keep them in. Very sad indeed. Best regards, Marg Millard, White Point, Queens http://MargMillard.ca
