Cascadia Hummingbird Report - Mar 01, 2004

Rufous Hummingbirds were reported from 2 SW Washington sites
this week. The report near Coquille was actually in the Oregon
Coast range at about 1100 ft. We don't often get early migration
reports away from residential feeders, but it's actually not that
surprising.that they would be moving through the coast range.

We received lots of blooming flower reports last week, early
Salmonberry (_Rubus spectabilis_) and Indian-plum (_Oemleria
cerasiformis_) being the two most frequently recorded.

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?
