After seeing an Anna's on APR 1 on Whites Creek I put out a feeder and I just had a male show up. Last year was the earliest Hummer in my yard but that was the last week of FEB.

Following up on Jeff's Thomas Creek post, my wife and I saw two rock wrens and a Say's phoebe on the west side of Pyramid Lake on Saturday, January 31. Also a half-dozen distant swans on the northwest corner of the lake.

I was running through Whites Creek Canyon (SW Reno) and saw an immature William's Sapsucker along Timberline Road. Then about 300m south of Timberline in a willow I saw a male Anna's Hummingbird. This is the earliest I have seen an Anna's at 5800ft. Also, I saw a pair of Western Bluebirds checking out a nest box. Spring?
