I went out to try for Whips this evening, hoping they might be in early as so many other species have been. I found three calling Whips on Pine Kill Road in their usual spot. Also present were two Woodcock, a singing Winter Wren and a gobbling Turkey, all after dark. Earlier in the week I had Northern Parula (4/16) twelve days earlier than previous early record and Yellow Warbler (4/17) five days earlier than previous early record. John Haas --
