Male at feeder on south Whidbey Island today, tying the latest arrival
date here in the eleven years recorded. Average arrival date has been
March 4th and earliest arrival date has been February 24th twice. Cooler
than average "early spring" weather this year has certainly slowed the
arrival of spring in many ways.
