Over the past couple of days, there has been at least one female RUFOUS HUMMER working my earlier-blooming California fuchsias. They do not breed in my neighborhood and I typically see a large influx of females and juvies at the end of the month. I also had a flock of about a dozen BUSHTITS at the suet feeder this morning, and have been hosting a juvie male DOWNY WP for the past week or so. Earlier in the month, I had a family of CB CHICKADEES working the bumper crop of my chokecherry. Lastly, I noticed a PAC-SLOPE hawking insects in my neighbor's yard a few weeks ago. This was the first time I've seen an Empid in my neighborhood outside of migration. Brandon Eugene
