Blackpolls




Things have really slowed down at our home in the Irmo area of Columbia,SC,
since the heat settled in several days ago.  The winter residents have
apparently left.  

However, today I heard Blackpoll Warblers singing in the trees in our back 
yard, and I got a good look at one of them.  They are right on schedule 
compared to previous years, when the heat settles in and the NAMC is coming.  
I hope these Blackpolls linger here through tomorrow's count.  

In my experience, the Blackpolls are like a "lagniappe" for the migration, 
a little extra something after the big show.
