To add to the mystery of Sharon's early Oriole reports, I had two female Rose-breasted Grosbeak at a platform feeder this morning, about 9:30 am. I watched them for about 5 min before they were startled and left. They were heavy bodied, had thick bills, and a distinct white eyebrow. They cracked and ate sunflower seeds just like the Cardinal that was feeding nearby.
