Hi Susan,
I just moved into a new apartment in Issaquah two weeks ago, and within a day I had a male Rufous Hummer coming to my feeder. This is definately early. I have heard some may be over-wintering, but I couldn't tell you which this one may be doing here now.

The other was probably one of my Anna's but I hardly looked, I couldn't take my eye off the Rufous...they both fed for a few moments and then zoomed off. I don't know when Rufous hummers return-this seems early. Was I seeing things?? Susan CarmelNE Seattle
