Index of Subjects One immature hummer still here on Wolfville Ridge - Sept 1- and it's feisty if any other comes near, as I saw this morning when it chased an intruder away. It spends a great deal of time going diligently through the blooms on the red spikes of our native Cardinal Flowers (Lobelia Cardinalis) in our garden. I understand this plant depends on hummingbirds for fertilization. Our Eastern Wood-Pewees left this past week which is just about their normal departure time. Already miss their cheerful little calls. Some young vireos (possibly Blue-headed as I haven't seen any Red-eyed for some time) were calling for food a couple of days ago, felt this may have been a late brood as there were young being fed in early July. I was surprised how early vireos arrived here this year. On reading John Kearney's latest nocturnal migration report reminded me of several reports from friends around Wolfville/Kentville being surprised at the numbers of warblers passing through their property in the past week or so.

We had very few this summer - just two in the final weeks, and they were aggressive to each other, so perhaps not a mother and chick. --- Peter Payzant
