I have seen them earlier in February in Coos also. Usually just one or two
mixed in with the Trees until later in the month.
Merry migration!

It's prime time in Benton County for Tree Swallows to arrive. Decades ago
I thought of March 6 as being the average early arrival date for Violet

My husband and I had the fortune of a kid free birding day today since
Albany decided the kids needed to have school to make up their ice

Swallow. We both had good looks at it to determine it was a Violet-green
and not a Tree. We thought it was a little early for them to be back (at
any rate the earliest we've seen them). Anyone else see any Violet-greens
around recently?
