Hummingbird migration map update

[Allen T. Chartier]

Hummingbird enthusiasts,

I have made one more update to my Michigan hummingbird migration map and data table, possibly the last update this spring. The number of new reports has decreased considerably, and so it appears that the main push of Ruby-throat migration is over. I have received reports from every county except Menominee and Oscoda. Overall, arrivals seemed to average earlier this spring, especially in the UP. And, although no photos were obtained, it appears likely that new record early arrivals were established for the state from St. Clair, Livingston, Oakland, and Cass counties.

Every day, the hummingbird eats its own weight in food.
You may wonder how it weighs the food. 
It doesn't. It just eats another hummingbird.
