Welcome back to all you warmbirds. No, I don’t mean snowbirds, which comprise a whole other flock – a flock not all that ready to return from tropicalish climes. Brats.

Warmbirds, which also go by “nearbyers,” tend to arrive with the first signs of merciful mildness, like this week’s 70s. They zip in from sundry parts of N.J. – or from the edges of nearby states.
