Greetings.
    In the last week we have had two new "yard" birds.  On Monday, May 5th we 
were sitting on our front porch after dinner and birds - indigos, titmice, 
tanagers, grosbeaks, and vireos were picking off little worms front a white oak 
a few feet in front of our house.  As we watched, a blackpoll warbler joined 
in, the first we have ever seen here, having had our place since 1998 and lived 
here full-time since 2002.  We got very good looks and finally about 8:30 P. M. 
it perched partially behind some leaves and stayed there until we went inside
    The other new one was a woodcock.  Near us on our property we have a little 
copse of trees that surrounds a very small little open spot.  This evening 
about 5:30 P. M. we went over there to look around where we often have good 
bird sightings.  We have said it would be a good place for woodcock, but never 
seen one and tonight I almost stepped on it.  
    We have had a number of warbler species and great butterflies including 
Giant, Tiger, Zebra, Pipevine, Eastern Black, and Spicebush Swallowtails, 
Mourning Cloak, Appalachian Brown, Carolina Satyr; Silver Spotted, Golden 
Banded, and Zebulon Skippers, Variegated Fritillary, Question Mark, Pearl 
Crescent.
    Good birding to all.
