After finding just a single Connecticut Warbler for the season prior to today I hit pay dirt this morning at Arcadia with three separate individuals (two adults and a first year) and even managed to get decent views (and some photos) of two of them.  This is the first time I have ever managed to find three in a single day and a record I'm unlikely to break anytime soon (I have had two on single days on just a couple occasions).  Besides the Connecticut Warblers I had a nice selection of warblers today with a total of 17 species...about as good as it gets in mid September. 
Bay breasted Warbler and Blackpoll Warbler, Home, Belchertown, MA, Sep 19, 2018
At home my motion activated camera caught another new warbler species at my water feature with the capture of a Bay breasted Warbler yesterday bringing my warbler list at the water feature up to 14 so far.
