I was sitting at the computer checking the Journey North site for their progress, when I looked out the window at the feeder and there he was, a male Rufous. 5 days later than last year, but still running earlier than the average normal arrival time of around the 1st of March. I have been feeding the Annas all winter, which was especially snowy for us this year. At one point we had 8" on the ground and highs in the mid 20's. Amazing little birds to be able to stand such harsh conditions. Bust out the feeders everyone, here they come!!
