The MVA calls their arrival a “harbinger of spring.” Over the past 25 years, the earliest sighting has been April 2 at 6:25 p.m. and the latest has been April 21 at 11:48 a.m. In a media release, the MVA’s resource management officer Renny Grilz calls their arrival in Saskatchewan an “important and exciting spectacle.”
