Cascadia Hummingbird Report - 04/18/2005

Eastside Rufous Hummingbird reports are still running slow, which
is not that surprising cooler than average and very unsettled weather.
We did receive two reports east of 120?. One from Oliver, BC and
another of a female in Lewiston, ID. Reports of females arriving
ahead of males are unusual, but seem to occur more frequently in
years when the migration is delayed.

British Columbia and in Idaho. There was at least on report from
the Willamette Valley last week.
