Golden-cheeked Warbler prior to March 1 beginning on Feb. 23...These reports are of great interest for the record, NAB and the forth-coming 2nd edition of the Handbook of Texas birds. However I/we have seen nothing in terms of details...Any Feb record of GCWA is very important for what is being assembled now. We can't can't really quantify mere reports and Ebird usually does not serve as a means to cite these reports...Anyone with a more detailed report(s) and/or photos of GCWA would add much to the record and our understanding of this species' migration in this ever changing world. If you found a Feb. GCWA(s), please submitted that to Ebirds, NAB or if you wish privately...Frankly I can buy into some of the reports, but there is just nothing to make these early reports publishable in terms of back up info/photos. A trend may be being established but we can not know without good data. -- Brush Freeman Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
