Our observation on the question: We have always observed the Rufous "J"
flight pattern here at our home in Vancouver, WA and have always wondered
where the oval pattern came from....

>>The basic bird books show Rufus display flights as a oval,
but I've only seen J flights in Western Washington, from
the upper Skagit to the ocean. Is that what rufuses (rufi)
do around here or I'm I mistaken to think I'm seeing mainly
Rufus?
