There are at least 11 new sightings reported there on JN from 2-12 to 2-23 and two of those reported are from Va. They are not listed on Mannys map as yet possibly not reported there.

I think at least most of those sightings are overwinterers, not spring migrants. Over the next week we should start seeing a few flying up from Mexico.

The sighting descriptions suggest that a couple of the Texas sightings may possibly be new birds, but the rest suggest birds that have been around for a while. It's pretty cool to see so many winter sightings up the east coast.
