Caneadea, a reported RUBY-T. HUMMINGBIRD at a backyard feeder. Any
HUMMINGBIRD SPECIES during October should be carefully identified.
RUBY-T. HUMMINGBIRDS generally have migrated from the region in early
October, while rare, out-

during this time. More details of the observation would be appreciated.

Island, above Niagara Falls - nine warbler species - ORANGE-CR.
