Hi All,
 
While I was very happy to see a male Summer Tanager at Hains Point this morning, the most interesting bird was what appeared to be in fresh Fall plumage.  The bird had those orange-ish legs typical of a spring Blackpoll, but everything else was pure fall Blackpoll. I've heard that there's a plumage for non-breeding Blackburnians. Is there something like that for Blackpolls to anyone's knowledge (or for that matter Blackburnians)?
 
Thanks!
