I have been experiencing early sightings and noted Andy's earlier posting and it brought me to comment on what I am seeing. Here is a cutout of a message I sent to Andy just minutes ago.

Your comment on Baird's is interesting. I have had single sightings of Baird's three out of the six years in the spring all between May 4-9. Now I am finding other species early as well and are species that I normally find during the first week of May or later? Is there something to this?

Randy asked if I had bird more in early may, a very good question? I checked my database. In mid to late April I had 1430 hits, in early to mid May I had 1610 hits I would not make that out to a significant difference.
