underside, and an odd habit of shrugging its wings several times upon
alighting. Eufala ranges from our area to central Argentina and Chile. Its
status in northern California is unclear. Although there are records of strays
in the mountains, it basically is confined to the Central Valley and adjacent
foothills where it is rarely seen before June, increasing to maximum abundance
in autumn before disappearing around Thanksgiving. There is a handful of
widely-scattered April records. Does it overwinter successfully, or must it
recolonize from the south each year?</span></div>
