Watching For the Winter Set

We are getting ever close to the point of time where the winter species of the Piedmont should start to become evident.  But what I have experienced year after year is a sort of pokiness.  I hardly ever encounter species much before mid November.  Among the ultimate visitors will be juncos, White Throated Sparrows and Yellow Rumped Warblers (shown).  In fact, it is the warblers I expect to see first.  I see them at the office park nearly as the leaves fall, working in the wax myrtles.  And that's why I planted wax myrtles here!  I am hoping to draw in these "Myrtle Warblers" earlier.  That may take time but I'll bet they get the message in a year or two.  For now, we watch and wait.  Who will be first?
