[Birdtalk] Rufous Hummingbird

[Larry tripp]

Today at my feeders in Central I saw my first southbound male Rufous 
Hummingbird. Black-chinned have been ruling the feeders until he showed up 
and that changed real fast. The overall numbers of Hummingbirds seems to be 
up this year compared to last year. Probably the more arid conditions this 
year have them hanging around the feeders more.

There are a lot of hatch year B chins beginning to showing up now. I also 
have had a male Anna's coming in early and late the last couple weeks but 
that is about it for Hummingbirds this month.
