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.

Cheers,
Judy Tufts

We still have one hummer at our feeder as of Sept. 1. 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.
