Highlights:
Another 53 ruby-throat sightings and the map is filling in. It is breeding season! "Watched a male and female chasing each other around the cherry trees this afternoon," reports a hummingbird spotter from Sault Ste. Marie, ON.

Rufous hummer sightings are filling in the map. Your sighting reports help us to see the breeding territory borders. Watch our live map to for the latest reports.

Come back next week for another short update, and keep looking and listening for hummers near you!
