I saw our first male rufous just now. Their was a female last Sunday but we have not seen her since. If there is a male here now, a female is likely to show too. For the past 2-3 years they have nested near our yard. They are showing up about 2 weeks later this year, but it is good to know they are around.
Yesterday I picked up a new feeder for $1 at Big Lots. Good deal. We have 4 feeders out and that was the one the male chose. It looks like a big strawberry.
When he finished feeding he roared off in the distance toward the neighbors barn into the woods.
