I had a number of lingering warblers for the month with a total of five species including my latest ever dates for Black and White Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler and Palm Warbler.  The other species seen were Common Yellowthroat and Yellow rumped Warbler.  Unfortunately the weather turned snowy and colder than normal starting at the end of the first week of the month with a few mornings setting all time record lows.  Nevertheless I still managed to find a Palm Warbler very late in the month (the 28th), setting my record late date in the county for the species.
