The last week plus I have had a hummingbird boom. often 3(I assume)
juvenile birds per feeder all at once. Two male allens and a male annas -
plus asstd female/juv of each. Had rufous early on. They haven't yet made
an appearance. Coquille. I'm thinking they were busy feeding broods. Seems
like I have enough extras for two broods of allens and a brood of annas
