As is typically the case, July is a slow month for warblers as many have stopped singing and breeding activity is peaking. There are still birds singing occasionally but just not to the same degree as May and June. During the first few days of the month I made it to a number of locations to check on breeding species and found a total of 19 species. I also made a trip up to Montague to see if I could turn up the Golden winged Warbler I last saw in the middle of June. Despite a lot of looking I had no luck but another birder has great documentation that the bird paired with a Blue winged Warbler and successfully fledged a few young. I took advantage of a lull in our very rainy weather to get out this morning after work and caught up with a number of warblers in Williamsburg.
