Rufous Hummingbirds have reached Alaska at latitude 58°N while Ruby-throats hover at 35°N.

"First sighting of two male rufous hummingbirds. Generally see them in the area no earlier than April 1st, so this is quite early."
Juneau, Alaska 03/22/15

Ruby-throats Reach 35N
With conditions similar to last week, weather kept the Ruby-throat migration from making much progress this week. Favorable southern winds are forecast to bring more hummingbirds across the Gulf of Mexico this week. However, a band of precipitation should halt movement north of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Georgia. Keep an eye on the southeastern U.S. where Rubies have been sighted along the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina.

"Saw my first male hummer. This is the latest in several years." Coaling, Alabama 03/23/15

"Arrived during a downpour!" Killeen, Texas 03/20/15

This week brought more sightings of Black-chins in south-central Texas and west into New Mexico.

"Good-bye winter and hello spring. First sighting. A male Black-chinned, and boy was he hungry." San Angelo, Texas   03/23/15
