Hi all,
Me again. Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but I thought I
should pipe-in on another species that really needs to be careful
scrutinized and documented at this early of a date in spring. When it
comes to Red-eyed Vireos, they typically do not arrive until the first
week in June on both sides of the Cascades. There are about 25 records
of their arrival from mid May until the end of May, but prior to May 13
there are no adequately documented records for this species in Washington.
If indeed there are some Red-eyed Vireos arriving in this state at this
time, then some very interesting phenomenon is occurring and
documentation of their presence would be fabulous.
Cheers and good birding,
Brad Waggoner
