(Login Martin_D ) Hummingbird Member 2005 I felt like posting some pictures so I looked around on the hard drive and found these two.
The Rufous are not far away, but we have fresh snow and -6C temperatures so they won't be in any hurry to make the jump to the Island, Sunday its supposed to warm up and then they will be on the move, still looks like it will be an early year.

Two super shots--especially like the Calliope--they are even striking identical poses, down to their feet! Zone 4 Red Wing MN

Donald, can't you just imagine the rufous singing "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better" ?!
Totally wonderful photos, Martin.
