Friday noon I was suddenly surprised to see a substantial (30-40?) mixed flock of warblers suddenly stream into our Ridge Rd back garden, arriving in continuous small groups of 4-6 birds. They hurriedly flitted through, and under, shrubs and young trees in our garden beds looking for insects and were gone within minutes heading in a south-westerly direction. I noticed many were Black-and-white Warblers, there was at least one N Parula, and occasionally flashes of yellow indicating other species also traveling within this group of migrants. Sightings like this never cease to make me stand in awe of avian migration. Have others noted their Ruby-throated Hummingbirds having very poor breeding success this year? Although we had at least three females and two males, it was sad to see only two offspring were raised - first time in my records that a breeding season has been such a failure.
