Look at the week-by-week animation of the Rufous Hummingbird Migration Map. (It will continue to replay.)

When you run through the animation, what patterns do you see?

What questions would you have for the observer who reported seeing a rufous hummingbird in Alaska on March 16?

What could affect how the migration seems to move forward on our maps? (Hint: Think about the migration and our observers!)
