[cobirds] Bobolink, El Paso County

Late this afternoon, I saw a Bobolink at the western end of Tamlin Road, El Paso County, a short distance  before the pavement ends.
I saw it briefly in the grass by the fence then watched it fly  to the south.
It seems a bit early for this bird?
 
At the Squirrel Creek pond, there were 7 Least Sandpipers, 2 Avocets, about 120 Ibis, 3 Wilson's Phalaropes and a few ducks. The water level is low. 
There was a lone Canada Goose calling a lot; I wonder if it's the same one who lost his/her mate there last year; they were nesting and one morning I saw a Peregrine Falcon eating one of the Canada Goose right by the nest. I presumed he/she had killed the goose on the nest.
