[cobirds] Early arriving migrants

I read with interest Paula's post, and responses by Nunes and Lundbald. I follow the daily ABA postings from SE Arizona. Every spring, I head there for hiking and birding, so I am very curious as to what new species are arriving daily. I wish to note that this year migrants have been arriving in SE Arizona as much as 2 + weeks ahead of their average arrival dates. Many species have arrived 2 + weeks ahead of their previous "earliest" arrival date. Blossoming vegetation is also ahead of schedule in the desert SW. Might this has some bearing on Paula's recent report of a possible flycatcher?
