Time once again for a year end wrap up of the warblers seen this year. I managed to find a total of 50 species overall with six new species including Olive capped Warbler, Bahama Warbler, Bahama Yellowthroat on Grand Bahama in February, Arrowhead Warbler in Jamaica in March and Golden cheeked Warbler and Colima Warbler in Texas in April. I have now seen 69 total warbler species ever (sadly I cannot count Yellow breasted Chat any longer)

| MacGillivray's Warbler, Honey Pot, Hadley, MA, Nov 13, 2017 |
As far as within Hampshire County I had my best year ever with a total of 33 species of warblers plus a variety of hybrids including both Brewster's and Lawrence's Warblers. The highlight by far was a MacGillivray's Warbler that showed up in Hadley in November and stayed for a few days. It is only the second county record and the best documented sighting by far. The MacGillivary's Warbler brings my warbler total in Hampshire County up to 35 again (after the Yellow breasted Chat was demoted from a warbler to a non warbler). Other unusual species included a Golden winged Warbler and a Hooded Warbler plus well above normal counts of Connecticut Warbler and Mourning Warblers as well as others (Detailed look at various warbler species in above normal numbers).
