The arrival-departure doc shows Sept 2 as the expected arrival date, i.e. there
are multiple if not many records on or near that date. In my experience here in
the north this species arrives annually during the Sept 5-10 timeframe and
later only if I don't get out enough to detect one. See the eBird data for some
examples from recent years. So while always a nice find, I would say this bird
represents a fairly average arrival.
