As the second week of August comes to an end the dispersal of warblers continues with some hints of mixed species flocks starting to form. The weather has continued to be hot with mainly southerly winds. I have spent a bit of time tracking down warblers with the highlight today being a banded Cerulean Warbler continuing at Quabbin Park. I heard the bird sing a bit in the fog early yesterday morning but failed to see it well enough to see if it was the banded bird located there. I returned today after a long walk at Gate 8 and was happy to see the bird once again and able to confirm it was the individual banded in early June. It is getting a bit late to still have the species around and I suspect it will depart very soon to the tropics. Hopefully I will see it again next spring.
