Pretty early, indeed! Average arrival in Vancouver BC not far to the N is
Oct 31! But we did have an adult here in late July or August; remote chance
it may be the same bird goofin' around while it waits for the others to
arrive at a more conventional time?

The odd BLTE southbound occurrence here is Weeks 1 and 2 September.

Not blindingly so, though. Avg arrival for Vancouver BC is September 29, and
there's some evidence that they overfly here to sites further S so that our
arrival birds may actually be later than further S.

Yeah, another species on the move about now.
