 Well, I think there is only one good reason why the Roufus Hummingbird is coming back early this year. Like Mike said, there is terrible weather conditions in California, such as thunder and rain storms. So if the hummingbirds migrate down to the deep southwestern United States and Mexico where all of the rain and thunderstorms are, then they meust be smart enough to realize that the weather is nice up here. In which, the hummingbirds were right, well at least for a couple days. The weather here in central Illinois always changes rapidly early and late in the year.
One day the ground is covered in snow and the next it is 50 degrees and no snow. So I think the hummingbirds just misjudged the weather.
