"Fall" (i.e., southbound) migration by Rufous Hummingbirds begins in
mid-late June, and they're hitting, e.g., southern Arizona this week. Why
Brian doesn't get them that early, I'm not sure. Southbound Wilson's
phalaropes and other shorebirds (peeps/yellowlegs) are also arriving about
now. Migration is back - thanks for the reports!
