Thanks for the report, Bill. I just don't have the BC hummer numbers, that usually arrive, as summer residents this yr. And, certainly, nothing close to your numbers. Very impressive!
Appreciate Carl Lunblad's post. I've just never had that early a push through our area of the Rufous (more like Judy & Frank and Jeff have noted). Last yr, we had probably our best Rufous numbers ever, as they went southward, starting July & well into August. We get a few Calliope, usually by Aug. Rich's post makes me hopeful, to see more, once they start heading south, this yr. The Calliope hummers are definitely the most aggressive of all, at the feeders. Small size doesn't necessarily relate to being meek in the hummer world, lol!
