Female Rufous has returned!

In the Jan. 2010, I had an immature female Rufous show up in my yard. She was caught and banded that Feb. She left in April of that year. She returned in Dec. 2010 and was caught again in Jan. and ID'd as my rufous from the winter before. She left in March 2011. She showed up for the third year yesterday. From her actions, her using the same feeder and having the same white spots above her bill, we are sure it is her. You can also see the band on her right leg. Amazing that she could make the trip 3 times from the North West USA or BC down to Florida and 2 times back.
