This is a great story. Imagine flying all the way from Columbia to Appalachia and then having the strength to fly 1100 miles 5 days later to escape a storm and then fly right back again to your Appalachian nesting site. These warblers are well-engineered ... Wondrous.

It is amazing what nature can do!

That's true.

Those birds are about as impressive as the Monarch butterflies, who have a similar migration.

Amazing stuff, thanks for posting!

its amazing that animals are so in tune with weather..and seasons....something even our super computers cant do as accurately.

The Mourning Cloak butterfly actually hibernates in this area. I always wondered why I was seeing them very early in the Spring.

A super computer doesn't get eliminated when it screws up. Sadly!
