What is the earliest you'll find blueberries, and where do you look for them?

I know this is a little late, but in regards to "when to look."  For me it's always been Red, White, and Blueberry.  The Fourth of July weekend I scout to my favorite patches and check on the condition.

This year, because of the lack of snow (cold temps with no snow can kill the plants) and low rain fall I was expecting the worst (last year was terrible for berry picking).

However, I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of good, plump berries.  Over two weekends my wife and I picked about 6 gallons of wild blueberries.

Where to look?  Rocky hills with Jack Pine...
