We have a lovely large field beside us that is just flourishing with wild plants and many different types of pollinator's and this time of year all is busy and I see the changes within the field and the wild life .
We are lucky enough to be on the migration path of lots of different creatures . Our Oriels have taken off on their journey now as well as the Warblers , Purple Martins , Barn Swallows, Tree Swallows, House Wrens , Grosbeaks and Song and Field Sparrows , our hummers will stay till the middle of September as they now are fueling up at the feeders like crazy preparing for their journey . The Blue jays , Chickadees, Woodpeckers and Nut Hatch have returned already .
I have been seeing the odd Monarch here and there but I am hoping to see more soon as they pass through here on their way to a waystation at Point Peele National park that's just a 2 hour drive away from us and the most south end of Ontario you can get.
Despite the lack of rain we have had I have found lots of fungi every where from inside old logs and tree stumps to in the grass of the lawn , I guess the high humidity has been enough for them to flourish .
Lots of Milkweed plants with their pods in the fields preparing to spread their seeds soon by bursting open with lots of fluffy white cotton batches .
Golden rod everywhere and the wild Asters are starting to bloom to . The temps have cooled and the humidity has broken for now , the crickets and grass hoppers have been singing day and night and the mornings are a bit darker and the sun sets a bit earlier now to , The gardens are coming to an end with some plants whist others are blooming as they take over for the coming season . I cant believe September is just around the corner . I can see the changes in the field and the wild life .
Until next time .

The humidity has broken here as well. I wonder if that's the last of the heat for the summer. Beautiful shots!
