Must have been a Blackpoll flight last night!  They are everywhere at the 
house today (Jug Bay area).  I went out early before work to look around the 
yard and swamp behind us, and this morning I saw (at least) 10-12 different 
Blackpolls, both male and females.  I even saw two on the ground (healthy; 
they were fine - only there briefly foraging, and then went back into the 
canopy).  Seemed like nearly every large tree had one or more calling in it.  
The Jug Bay Blackpoll magnet is on today!

Also heard/saw:

Y-B Cuckoo   1
Eastern Phoebe   2
