On my to work yesterday morning I made a brief stop at Pines Edge Conservation Area in Northampton in the slim chance of turning a Red headed Woodpecker that was at the location several days ago. Although I had no luck with the woodpecker I did find a very late Mourning Warbler singing near the edge of a large marsh area. The mosquitoes were horrendous so it was tough to stay still enough to get even a short recording. After getting a few marginal recordings I headed back out to get out of the mosquito swarm. I heard back from the Mourning Warbler researcher and the bird is from the Newfoundland regiolect and is very late in moving up to its breeding grounds.
