Re: thawed ground
A research colleague of mine suggests permafrost probes as a low tech option if you have a vernal pool or pools that you visit frequently.

Re: thawed ground
How cool would it be to get a bunch of soil data loggers deployed to members of this list who could report back toil temps at time of first migration observations?
Keep us posted on what you find if

Good luck finding them down in Norfolk. Keep us posted if you see any. Steve Schwartz will be thrilled that the list starts reporting first
