Despite the ground being covered by at least 3 inches of snow here at or place, at the 1,200' elevation in western Skamania County, our first male RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD showed up today. This is (by one day) a new late arrival date for our place in over 35 years of record-keeping. We also had a BAND-TAILED PIGEON at the feeder, my first of the season although Susan has been seeing them here for the last ten days. Wilson Cady
