We have to remember guys that this system is run by A (that's right, in the case of the hummingbird map it is a single person) volunteer and he can not always just jump up and update. Also, he relies on others for data - perhaps someone sent a message this week saying "I had a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in Louisiana on the 19th." What does he do? Throw out the data or put it up two weeks later?
Personally, I think Lanny does a great job maintaining that whole site.

If nothing else, it will be a good resource for those looking at this year's map next spring to give them an idea of when to expect the jeweled beauties.Starzz said:WOOHOOO!! come on rubys!! LOL

Limeybirder said:Thefirst of the spring arrived recently here in Tallahassee. The following quote was taken from the North Florida birds list.
"This morning at 7:30 I saw an adult male Ruby Throated hummingbird at my
feeder, 3 days earlier than the past 3 years when one showed up on March 6th.
In the past several years I have never seen more than one male at the feeders
until later in the summer, and I have always had one that stayed around until
the fall. Last year I did not see a female until the middle of May, and she
only came sporadically. Clean those feeders, they are on their way!"
