First the migration article is about blackcaps in Europe, not blackpolls. I should have looked at the article again. (I may be thinking of blackpolls at this time.) Second, the photo appears to be a Nashville warbler. It is not a blackcap. Even right clicking the image for "properties" says "blackcap". There is careless journalism and better journalism. wiredscience doesn't not seem reliable re bird study. I think sciencenews or sciencedaily ran this summary story several months ago re change in blackcap migration (sorry to consume your electrons and your time).
