This morning at the end of the west pier in Wilson, Niagara County, I had an extremely early COMMON TERN. One photo can be seen here: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S28137165
The earliest record in the Buffalo study area is April 3rd and the earliest in NY that I found was March 23rd (eBird). There is a March 5th record near Long Point, Ontario, the only March eBird record in Ontario. Good birding!
