July warblers

MacGillivray's Warbler, Rocky Mountain NP, CO, Jul 11, 2018

The month of July is not known for being a great month for warblers as many birds greatly reduce their singing or stop singing altogether as the breeding season starts to come to an end.  Nonetheless there are still birds to be found and as the month ends post breeding dispersal starts to ramp up.  Overall for the month I found a total of 23 species of warblers including those found on a trip out to Colorado.  Within just Hampshire County I found a total of 18 species of warbler.

Just returned from a trip out to Colorado visiting Rocky Mountain National Park, Pawnee Grasslands and a few areas in the greater Denver area between July 8-16.  During the trip I managed to find a total of eight species of warblers (Orange crowned Warbler, Virginia's Warbler, MacGillivray's Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Yellow rumped Warbler 'audubon's', Black throated Gray Warbler and Wilson's Warbler).  The most unexpected was the Black throated Gray Warbler that I found in RMNP where they are not expected in July.  Complete report from the trip can be found at the following link
