30 April 1995 is the earliest Willow I have for the western part of the Rogue
Valley (bird seen very well). Generally, Western Wood-Pewees show up ahead of
the Willows, and these two can be confused with one another without a good,
careful look. However, many species seem to be showing up 2-7 days early in
the Grants Pass area, but then some are running behind early records too.

Mitch,
I am not sure what the earliest record for an inland site is for Willow Fly
but it is about a month earlier than the earliest Coos record- any comments
from valley birders? Willow Fly is the 2nd latest to arrive in Coos- usually
mid-May with only C. Nighthawk arriving later- usually the last few days of May
or early June.
Lots of Swainson's Thrushes being reported on the eBird alert and a few on
OBOL, still no sign of anyhere on the south coast?!
Merry Migration!

My college ornithology prof, Don Powers, and his class reported an early
Willow Flycatcher from Detroit Flats yesterday. They also ticked a
MacGillivray's Warbler, a Hammond's Flycatcher and a Lincoln's Sparrow there.
That's a great place to bird during migration. Usually a Western Kingbird or
two there during late April, and it gets sagebrush country birds there too. In
the past we have regularly picked up Gray Flycatchers and two years ago a Sage
Thrasher.
Good birding,
