[Tweeters] Why rufous hummers in Seattle now?

[Jerry Neufeld-Kaiser via Tweeters]

Hi Tweets,
This week there's been 3 different rufous hummingbirds in our Seatle yard.
Delightful.  What explains their presence at the end of May?  To me it's
too late for them to be migrating birds, and too early for them to be
returning already.  Are they first year birds dispersing?  In the city?
Curious.

Thanks for your wisdom.
