Dear al,

I'm looking for Washington egg dates for Anna's Hummingbirds.
What's 'normal' around here.
What are early and late dates?

An acquaintance showed pictures of almost-ready to fly young "taken a few weeks ago."
Hence my curiosity how rare that is this early in the season.

I checked various books and found the egg dates in Birds of British Columbia (late-May normal but one record of eggs laid on February 29, 1988), but haven't found this information for Washington yet.

So I'm turning to y'all.

Thanks in advance.
