I was out checking many spots this morning in the hopes of finding a Yellow throated Warbler in Hampshire County after two showed up yesterday in the area with one in Franklin County and another in Hampden County.  Although I missed on finding a Yellow throated Warbler I did have my best day so far for the spring as far as diversity is concerned with eight species of warbler including a new record early date for me for Yellow Warbler (previous earliest was April 23 in both 2022 and 2017) and a tie for my earliest date with Black throated Green Warbler (tied with 2019).  Besides the two early warblers I had my first of the year Black and White Warblers today.  Migration conditions were good last night and look to be good again tonight so I suspect more arrivals tomorrow and I will be out again looking.
