Here in Corvallis, Oregon the swallows are becoming very visible.  I saw
a couple of swallows two or three weeks ago, but that was before winter
returned (last week-end was the coldest days of this winter, with snow
getting down to an elevation of 1500 ft.).  I got a good look at three
Tree Swallows this morning, which may well be the last frosty day of the
season.  Red-Winged Blackbirds returned to the Willamette Valley several
weeks ago...
