We have quite a few here in South Florida ... I saw them, moving south
or southwest, along A1A in Palm Beach, and quite a few along Congress
Ave. in Lake Worth. Drifting from plant to plant, rather than
"purposeful" travelling, I think.  Perhaps a dozen in half an hour's
drive.
	This time of year I expect to see dispersal rather than migration ...
however, the redstarts are here already, so perhaps fall also is here.
We don't greet it with the same regret some of you express ...
