We have noticed ~50% decline in 'our' hummingbirds here on Wolfville Ridge
too. Among those remaining one of our two male hummingbirds still lingers.
Cheers,

Subject: [NatureNS] Hummingbirds
Since about 2 days ago, we've not seen 'our' 3 hummingbirds (2F, 1M) at all.
Previously, they had been visiting our feeders fairly regularly, maybe every
few 10s of minutes. I presume they have now moved on, migrating.
Are others observing this, that is, is this the expected/normally observed
time of departure south for hummingbirds?

There appears to be a lot of warblers on the move today. Although I did not
have the time to find out what was on the move, early this morning outside
of work in Bridgewater the trees were loaded. After work I managed to see a
magnolia warbler and a red-eyed vireo, but I saw a number of others before I
could get to my binoculars. This evening in LaHave I watched about 18
warblers come into the tree outside of my house. I was on the phone, so was
only able to see a few of them without my binoculars. There was a red-eyed
vireo, some chickadees, three northern parulas, one black-throated green
warbler and I didn't get an ID on the rest. There was one bright yellow
warbler, but I could not get any features.
