Toe, I graphed the Royal Palm (Everglades National Park) daily minimum temperatures for November since 1949 (with a few data gaps) and the trend is striking. The warming trend in this particular metric seems quite prominent. Look how many November days were in the 40's prior to the mid 1980's.
In most of the scientific papers that I've read, the global minimum temperatures seem to be warming the fastest. It sure seems reasonable that these would be biologically meaningful to at least the short-distance migrants.
