The last few days have produced a number of additional early arriving warblers including my first Cape May Warblers of the fall (with at least four at Quabbin Park this morning).  Other species arriving early include Tennessee Warblers, Bay breasted Warbler and Northern Parula.  The number and variety of warblers have been impressive with twenty species in just the last three days and I was not even able to get as much as hoped due to other obligations.  Quabbin Park this morning was especially impressive with 16 species present, with almost all in mixed flocks with most in a large flock strung out along on the roads which produced the majority of the total for the day.
