We know that weather an be extremely variable - making forecasts rather uncertain. BUT, the weather this year seems to be trending to early warming, and with that it appears that bird migrations may also be pushing the envelope a bit. Our Haiku Box has recorded 116 species in a small area of our back yard in the past month. We suspect that a few of those ID'd species may be just a little off. But most are our "usual suspects", but being noted far earlier than in our experience from prior years. An early migration? The hints are there.
So when should you come to visit the San Pedro River for optimal Spring Migration flocks. As noted above, those foredasts are subject to change with the whims of the weather gods. But its currently looking like early April with be quite entertaining! We have noticed the early arrival of our "logo bird" the Vermilion Flycatchers just this week. That appearst to be at least two weeks early for them to arrive.
