That’s an incredible record, Mark.
In going over more Anna’s records I see that there are about twice as many
records for February as there are for January. I am guessing that this
indicates early arrivals as opposed to birds not being observed, although I
have noted males “singing” in February, but not in January.

Tom,
You mentioned the cold snap last year when it reached -27 F. About 10-12 days
later we had an Anna's on the Bend Christmas Bird Count. The bird remained in
my neighborhood until at least 1/29/2015 at which time I no longer observed it.
