The Worcester record arrival date is April 7 (1946, C. S. Robbins, R. E. Stewart, et al., S&R 1958, along Nassawango Creek), with the next record 04/10, with a number of records from 04/12 onwards. It is not an early migrant. Checking the yellow book, April 7 is also the state-record date. Looks like there might not be any March records for the state.
