Cape May Warblers
Every year in October, Cape May Warblers make a stop over during their migration to my hometown. Locals here know exactly when and where they will stop, too. There is a Russian Elm in one of our local parks that we call “the Magic Tree” and this is where the Cape Mays visit. The tree is covered with thousands of gnats in October, and these clever birds feast for a week or two to fatten up for the rest of their flight.
Meanwhile, we photographers are treated to some up-close and interesting photography and the Cape Mays do not even seem to mind that we are around!
