<br/>> These past two days there has been a mini-migration of birds working their
<br/>> way through our woods. One could see bodies flitting through the trees and
<br/>> hear chirps. Some warblers and vireos, not sure what else might have been
<br/>> amongst them but yesterday as I was sitting by an open patio door with my
<br/>> coffee, I could hear the faint calls of a possible Eastern Wood-Pewee, as if
<br/>> it couldn't quite make its pewee calls... so I whistled to see if it would
<br/>> answer, and imagine my delight when the Pewee flew into sight and landed on
<br/>> an unoccupied old metal hanging basket post about 40 ft from me and
<br/>> continued to squeak a version of his flycatcher song. It appeared to be a
<br/>> young male trying to find its 'voice', maybe a fledgling straggler from our
<br/>> residential Pewee family? It mostly sat with its back to me, still
<br/>> practicing parts of his song notes with squeaks and odd notes, only turning
<br/>> around once. It was well aware of me watching but remained there for almost
<br/>> 15 mins. We could hear the movement and calls of other birds in the trees.
<br/>> Eventually it left but I could still hear its odd notes as it left the area
<br/>> with other migrants...

<br/>> A number of years ago I remember waking up just before dawn, and heard an
<br/>> adult EWPE teaching its offspring their song phrases. First the adult would
<br/>> sing a phrase and then the youngster would have its turn... lots of squeaks
<br/>> and halting notes... this went on for quite a while and I found it magical.
<br/>> Never been lucky like that again.

<br/>> Our single hummer is still here (Wolfville Ridge), enjoying the Cardinal
<br/>> flowers.
