At first I thought it very odd but after doing some research I learned that they are very late migrants. Late May and the first 10 days of June are expected times to find one in spring. (One more week to look). A flyby BANK SWALLOW also migrating. I finally found my nemesis MOURNING DOVE confirmation!! I seem to have confirmed them in every block but mine!
