I want to make an observation each year I spot the earliest individual of the season to arrive in my area.
Is there a project (“first arrivals”?), a tag (like “first comer”) or an observation field (“migration: beginning of the season”) that is indicated for such observations?

You can make a project with this observation field.
I usually add a note in the description if something is the first of the season. I’m not aware of any existing projects/fields on iNaturalist but you could create your own. If you are in North America, you could also consider submitting such observations to Journey North to help track migrations and other seasonal phenomena.

There is a way to search all existing observation fields, but I only know how to get there from the “Edit Observation” screen:
Click on “View All Fields” and it will take you to a list of all observation fields that have been created. You can then use the search form at the top right to search for relevant keywords.
