Highlights:
Filling
in the Map!
Another 164 Rubythroat sightings this week! Compare
this week’s
map with the distribution map. Has the migration reached its
northern limit? Count the sightings in Saskatchewan, then look
westward – can you see the sighting in Slave Lake Alberta?
How far have these ruby-throated birds traveled to reach this
Canadian breeding ground?
Rufous
hummers are advancing eastward, feeding
in Riverton, WY on Mother’s Day fuscia flowers. Hummingbird
watchers in Alaska are preparing their feeders as the first
of the hummers
reaches 60N latitude. When will they reach 61N latitude?
Watch our live map for the latest reports.
Don't
forget to read what some keen-eyed observers shared in this
week's Hummingbird Action reports! >> Then, come
back next
week for another short update, and keep looking and listening
for hummers near you!
