I noticed with excitement that Wendy Ward had recently found an
exceptionally early Lesser Yellowlegs in Walpole last Friday the 21st.
While researching this sighting in "The Birds of New Hampshire" (Keith &
Fox), I found that it appears to be a record early date for the State!
The previous early date appears to have been March 30, 1977 (Roger
Lawrence), but the 2nd earliest arrival date was April 3, 1954 by a
YOUNG 16-YEAR OLD DAVIS FINCH in Exeter! Amazing that Davis submitted 8
decades worth of bird records!

It brought back a great memory of a wonderful conversation with Davis. As he shared his stories of the house finch he found up here in Errol so many yrs ago! Thank you Davis for stopping in to say hello.
