So looks like Chipping sparrows have reached our latitude on same day! In last several years, I have found that first arrival of same species are reported on same day to Cayugabirds, Geneseebirds and Oniedabirds often.
It is really interesting to see that they move approximately same distances north. What causes them to stop and not go further anymore?

Our previous earliest was April 7th last year. In the past we would normally expect one around the 10th.
