Following the passage of a line of thunderstorms today a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
appeared in the oaks on the south side of our house in Norfolk. This is six
days earlier than my previous earliest arrival date, but about the time they
appear in the Dismal Swamp although I didn't record a gnatcatcher there on
Monday. Migrants usually enter our metropolitan area somewhat later than the
surrounding less developed areas.
