Cascadia Hummingbird Report - Feb 2, 2004
Yes, it's that time of year, again.
There have actually been 3 Rufous Hummingbird reports
in the last week or so. Of these, reports from Eugene
and Astoria may not represent real long distance migrants.
They, instead, fit the pattern of winter hold-outs shifting
around as the weather changes (arguably the same pattern
seen in recent winters in Barn Swallows).
A male reported at Harbor, OR is more likely part of the
early migrant front, though I reserve the right to change
my mind if other reports are not forthcoming from Northern
California and Southern Oregon.
Astoria, OR (1) 01/24/2004 46.1876 123.8362
Glenwood, OR 01/26/2004 43.9995 123.0046
Harbor, OR 01/30/2004 42.0391 124.2547

Half-a-bee, philosophically must ipso-facto half not-be.
But half the bee, has got to bee Vis-a-vis its entity...
d'you see?
But can a bee be said to be or not to be an entire bee
When half the bee is not a bee due to some ancient injury?
