Observation details

Heard it singing almost as soon as getting out of my car at south end of lake. Later found and able to get iPhone photos. A bit on earlier side for spring, have been a couple of other reports in last week. Ties my personal earliest for MO. From Robbins (2020) regarding spring: Migrants begin supplementing the low-density winter population in the south by early Mar, but not until the end of Mar/early Apr in the north. Earliest arrivals north of wintering areas: 10 Mar 1887, St. Louis (Widmann 1907); 27 Mar 1963, St. Joseph (FL; n=32 years, 1956-1987).
