Yes it is likely you would have seen (or heard) one this early in Federal
Way (king county). I heard my first one(s) this year ordering up "3 beers"
at a time last Saturday, April 30 in Schmitz Park in Seattle. I don't know
if he was with 2 other friends or if he just wanted to get drunk quickly. I
don't know if you have Eugene Hunn's book, but he lists them as rare before
May and frequent to common by about the second week of May. I don't know
about the regurgitating behavior you described.

I THINK I saw an Olive-sided Flycatcher in Federal Way
today. ... would one be likely to be in Federal
Way this early?
