Swainson's Thrushes have already been reported in far northern CA.  It's
likely that at least a few have crossed the border by now.  Still seems
early for Northwest Oregon, but maybe not unprecedented.

I'm skeptical of Willow Flycatcher in Detroit.  I typically don't see them
until late May/early June in Eugene.  eBird is currently showing one report
for the entire Western U.S. (Arizona).

Yes - that would be a very exceptionally early spring record for
Willow Flycatcher.    Hermit Thrushes are now moving through western
Oregon in good numbers.   A Swainson's Thrush this early would be
exceptional.  Jeff Gilligan
