Due to the temp. (34C in the shade=3B EC on their Kentville site give the h=
umidity as 39% which is a laugher as it was difficult to breathe today)=2C =
I decided a walk in Palmeter Woods should be considerable better than anywh=
ere else.

At the outset of the trail=2C there were ~ 8 Least Skippers=2C 1 Copper=2C =
(yet to check my photo)=2C some day-flying moths=2C a few paper wasps. Once=
entering the wooded area I heard 1 woodpecker drumming (I'm guessing Downy=
) & another bird that gave three shrill calls in a row which I did not rec=
ognize. I noted one fly (Tashinid) until I reached the end of the wooded ar=
ea (~40-45 mins brisk walk). There is a glade just before that point where =
there were a number of Tall Fringed Orchids on which a single bee (Bombus v=
agans) was nectaring. Shortly thereafter I found a Pelecinid Wasp on the gr=
ound but which quickly flew up to a branch & then disappeared.

At the large pond at Seven Bridges=2C I could not find a single odonate. Th=
is is usually an excellent place to find both dragonflies & damselflies. Th=
ere was however a nest of Yellowjackets=3B I did not tarry!!

Will there be a bird migration this fall or will they just trickle through?=
Time will tell.
