Rufous — Second Wave
In Bellingham, Washington March 15th marks the date that Rufous Hummingbirds often show up. One observant reporter noticed that each year a second very large group of Rufous would arrive in May to join the March birds. The large group of birds stays a couple of weeks then leaves, presumably to continue their migration. Pictures and video were made to record this phenomenon, and shared through YouTube. Amongst the Rufous hummingbirds there is an Anna's male.

"A little Anna's male has been a permanent resident here for 2 winters now. See if you can spot him at the end of the video."
