Prairie Warbler, Arcadia, Northampton, MA, Sep 10, 2017 |
I met up with Keenan this morning and we explored quite a bit of area around Arcadia with one of our main goals being Connecticut Warbler...and we were quite successful! It will be interesting to see how many of them I can find this year, I'm off to a good start with two so far. Last year was my best year ever when I tallied a total of ten individuals (
Connecticut Warblers 2016). Besides the CT warblers we had 13 other species of warblers. Full list with additional photos here:

Wilson's Warbler, Amherst, MA, Sep 9, 2017 |
Yesterday morning I got up and out before dawn heading out to various locations to catch up with what I was sure would be lots of migrants. I stopped at various spots around Amherst for the morning until the wind picked up and then I headed over to a more sheltered spot at Quabbin Park. An absolutely great early fall morning with good numbers and good diversity. Highlights for the morning included 21 species of warblers (12 Tennessee, a Mourning, 13 Northern Parula, 24, Magnolia, 2 Bay breasted, 30 or so Blackpoll, 3 Canada and 2 Wilson's and others). The diversity the last couple days in unlikely to be duplicated again until next spring as more and more species move out for the winter.
