For whatever it's worth, after several years of living in Ash-throated Flycatcher breeding territory in Fremont County, they usually seem to get back in the first few days of May. Don't remember ever seeing one in April. Fascinating discussion!
To add to Eric's great sightings, the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was present at Sell's Pond both around 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM today. Also, the northeast shore of Brush Hollow Reservoir had 43 Willets (eBird high count for Fremont County, speaking of Fremont County and eBird) and 2 Western Sandpipers. 10 Least Sandpipers were at Blue Heron Ponds.
