<div>How exciting, Vicki! Your post prompted me to check back in my records, and the earliest Rufous sighting I’ve noted was March 3 in 2020. Last year my first was March 28. I’d forgotten just how early they can get here, and will now make sure I’m well prepared
with optics and attention to spot the 2022FOY.</div>

Well, I’ll have to wait, but I was able to load the pic from a bit ago onto my Flickr. I’ll wait until I get info to load onto eBird. It should be linked below in my signature.
