if they are migratory...
The males are very territorial, and have sharp beaks.
Their servo systems are astounding. In strong gusty winds, they can
hover immovably as if they were glued to steel posts.

One night last month we heard a lot of noise downstairs. Six possum in
the kitchen. At least it wasn\'t a bear.
Does that count as a possum posse?
Possumbly.
We have a lot of wildlife in SF. Coyotes, possum, raccoons, snakes,
skunks, the occasional big wildcat, flocks of wild parrots, seagulls,
hawks, ravens, ducks, hummers, bats, whales, porposes, sharks, seals,
progressives, other weird things.
I discovered for myself decades ago that there are hummingbirds in SF,
on a one week visit. I was sitting on the wall where Broadway runs into
the Presidio and there was one perched on the railings! But I don\'t know
if they are migratory...
