So far I've had no first-of-spring arrivals here, unless you want to  
count the Swamp Sparrows and Ruby-crowned Kinglets reappearing after  
a late-winter hiatus (pushed south be the cold, I suppose).  But I've  
had several entertaining audio Faux-FOS's.  Most interestingly, there  
has been a Hermit Thrush here singing a very good imitation of the  
song of a Gray-cheeked Thrush for the last week.  Also, one of our  
local Blue Jays has been honing his Broad-winged Hawk call all  
winter, which is going to make it especially challenging in the  
coming weeks when the real Broad-wings are due back. And finally, the  
backyard Brown Thrasher has incorporated a dead-on imitation of a  
Yellow Warbler into his song cycle.
