Report Sightings!

As the number of sightings decreases, observers are on the lookout for stragglers. Cool fronts, winds, and rain were described in many areas along the migration trail.

"Today started with only one hummingbird at my feeder but as the dreary, chilly, rainy day came to a close it was joined by another. They were feeding often and seemed to be staying for a significant amount of time at the feeder. More rain and cooler temps for the next couple of days could signal a departure from our area."
