1530: Looked out my window and saw a strange little bird flitting around, finally got good looks at it and to my surprise a Blackpoll warbler! Haven't seen one of these since the 80s in the midwest. I chased the bird around with my camera and got some lousy pix. Then up popped a Western wood-pewee and a Chipping sparrow. I also saw a half dozen small birds disappearing in the distance. 5 minutes ago the Blackpoll is still there (1630)
