Here's a link to a significant discovery that at least five N.
American songbirds have a second breeding season in their wintering
sites.

Thanks. I've often wondered about that.

Makes sense to me that they would.

At a stopover? I would have guessed at the final destination, if at all.

Sorry. I thought "in their wintering sites." Meant "at the final
destination".

Now I'm really sorry--re-read the article--it does say "stopover".

Yeah, that is surprising.

On the other hand, I recall long trips we made all over the continent in
our pick-up-truck-camper........

Don't be sorry. I thought "But it turns out that they squeeze in a
second breeding season during a stopover in western Mexico on their
southward migration, said Sievert Rohwer a University of Washington
professor emeritus of biology and curator emeritus of birds at the Burke
Museum of Natural History and Culture at the UW." meant stopover.

Now I'm sorry. I answered too soon.

Yeah, I had a pop-up camper. I know what you mean.
