Is this about the same time as normal, Chris?
I'm putting out my feeder tomorrow.

Yeah ------ kinda. Always some early (birds) and a later main group. I think the blast north to Alaska and other places are all separate ---- and perhaps separate populations and migrations. The JOURNEY NORTH website is doing some science on this. My ideas mean nothing and are anecdotal ---- but this (to me) is quite a frontier and worthy of a Master's or PHD.............
