I was reading about Chickadees in the book "Identify Yourself," and the author
said that during invasion years the Black-Caps who move this far south
are not the nearby birds of Pennsylvania and New Jersey but birds 
from much farther
north, like Maine and Canada. Pretty cool!

"The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards
and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods.
More than any other thing that pertains to the body
it partakes of the nature of the divine." --Plato
