Martyn and Ray,
A friend had Woodcocks "Peenting" in a nearby field, this week, and I had 1=
7 Tundra Swans flying over (just east of Toronto). The Woodcocks are defini=
tely early, while I would guess that the Tundra Swans are early as well (65=
reported in the local area).
All the best,

For several years I participated in the (now sadly defunct) annual NAAMP su=
rvey. The first 'window', during which we expected to hear Spring Peepers, =
was March 20th to April 16th. Typically, the Peepers would make their first=
appearance around April 1st. This year, we heard them two days ago, on Feb=
ruary 25th. They are at least a month early.

This recording is from the night of the 12th of February.
