2 female Rufous hummingbirds began feeding at our porch feeders on Sunday, 4/1/07. I had put up feeders about 8 days earlier when I heard that someone south of Ketchikan had seen a Rufous. It's been warm in Oregon and Washington, and we think they've moved north due to warmer temperatures. It's usually the males who arrive first, but these are definitely females -- no marked throat patch, small, dull green. By the time mating season arrives, we'll have 24-30 of them zipping around our porch.
