Cascadia Hummingbird Report - Mar 08, 2004

The first report came in from British Columbia at Galiano Island
along with multiple reports from western Washington. The first
reported females come from Eugene and Warrenton in Oregon and Port
Orchard in Washington where one was photographed on 3/6. The first
Rufous arrived at my feeder on 3/5 and I saw at least 2 at Warrenton
on 3/7 working the emerging Salmonberry blossoms.

There were many reports last week of ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS at various
points in the reproductive cycle from nest building and egging sitting
to a report of a possible hatchling at Waldport, OR.

A female COSTA'S HUMMINGBIRD was photographed at a feeder Vancouver, WA.

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?
