Peak week unresolved in the current model. Regular arrival unresolved; use individual seasonal records. Regular departure unresolved; use individual seasonal records. Highly irregular locally; the range includes Mueang Chiang Mai and Mae Taeng, so current flock reports matter more than a fixed stakeout. Timing is based on extremely sparse local data; treat the dates as an alert window rather than a stable seasonal curve.
