It might have been late for the little hummers but I've seen a couple of the 'regulars' around here on south shore of lake ontario for two weeks or so
also as for other bird notes had a weird sad discovery on boat- the starboard ventilator cowling and dorade box contained three dead tree swallows when we commissioned the boat two weeks ago. The birds looked quite deteriorated like not recently dead. I've never seen such a thing before- I'm guessing they were ??migrating?? and saw the hole of the cowling as a good place to spend the night and then got trapped and couldn't get out?? Very weird.
