Weathering
Weather! A cold snap in the Eastern part of the United States was the name of the game this week. Journey North observers told tales of frosted plants, snow, and below-freezing temperatures! It surely stopped Rubythroats in their tracks. The leading edge of the migration barely inched northward. Meanwhile, things got interesting out West. Three Rufous hummer reports came from Alaska! That's not so strange this time of year, but the creatures showed up more than 600 miles north of the next closest sighting! How would you explain that?

Brrr. After moving north on warm winds, Rubythroats faced the big chill last week. They must have had a real shock!
