With weather like we are having, we can probably expect lots of earlier than normal arrival dates. Friends in CA have been telling us about how early many species have arrived this Spring. About April 10 is a typical arrival date for Nashville Warbler on Eugene. Portland arrivals for many neotropical migrant Passerines seem to run about a week later than the Eugene dates.
