Ralph,
Does original poster's description not match up with what you saw in the field?
Western Wood pewee doesn't typically arrive until mid April at the earliest , main pulse of migrants passing late

Likely the same wintering female Summer Tanager seen on/off this winter @ Lily Pond and McLaren Lodge. Today at one p.m. at the east end of Log Cabin trail where it meets the east lawn, nicely
