For those of you who don't monitor HUMNET, wintering Rufous Hummingbirds
were still being reported from Louisiana and Arizona last week, which
most folks agree is kind of late.

In flower news, Salmonberry is blooming in most areas where flowers
were reported. Here on the North Coast of Oregon blooms in open areas
are as high as 10/meter of cane (Astoria Mitigation Bank), but are still
below 0.1/m in most canopied sites.
