I have received a number of emails explaining why I can't possibly have
heard a Red-eyed Vireo this morning, with all kinds of maps and data.
I withdraw my observation. There is no way I can reasonably pit my ears (and
years of experience in the woods) against all your eBird data, etc.
Probability is against me and with the data.

On the other hand, the climate is changing. and if not a red-eye, then
what? J

If you hear the bird again please try to record it using your phone (voice memos or
turning on the video feature both work well). It would be a great early record although I
think this gorgeous spring weather will retreat next week for those adventurous birds who
have arrived.
The Red-winged Blackbirds returned en masse to a still-frozen swamp here in E Dalhousie,
Kings Co sometime in the past 3 days. The 30 or so birds managed to find some perches to
broadcast their songs on top of snags and beaver lodges. Grackles too.
