What am I missing? A sighting on March 25, 2012 is earlier than the three "non-Peterjohn" examples cited.
Since the topic of early dates for warblers has been broached, may I ask if anyone has any further information about the flock of Black-throated Blue Warblers reported from Blendon Woods last week? Photographs are said to exist, but I haven't seen them posted anywhere. Is more information forthcoming?
Happy birding,
Paul
