We may have had the coldest April on record. Most plants have been affected by the late spring and migration is still slow and later than average. We had our first Rufous male show up about 5 pm up on Badger Mt., elevation 3850 feet. A female showed up minutes later. Both birds drank often from the feeders. After their long journey I wanted their first meal the next morning to be warm (temps are still below freezing) so the feeders were brought in over night. When I hung the feeder at 5 am, the male was waiting and was on it before I could return to the house.
