Just a note of interest - I saw a Common Yellowthroat (warbler) at the
Mackay Island Refuge in North Carolina along the road to the visitor
center on Friday, March 3rd.

This area is just over the VA/NC line South of Virginia Beach.
I don't know if the species is a year-round resident or a migrant in  
this
location.  But now I'm psyched for the coming of Spring migration and  
the rest
of the warblers !!!  Also had many Yellow-Rumps ...
