Yellow rumped Warbler 'myrtle', East Meadows, Northampton, MA, Dec 16, 2019

After failing to find any warblers still hanging out at Arcadia during a couple of brief early morning stops on Friday and Sunday mornings I headed over to the East Meadows instead on Monday morning and eventually found two Yellow rumped Warblers still in the area.  There may still be some around Arcadia but I didn't have much time to look on the two mornings before work plus the area was flooded after recent rains and lots of snow melt (probably the highest water levels I have seen along the Connecticut River in December).  I was not able to access as many areas as I wanted to this morning in the East Meadows either  due to the flooding so there may be even more than the two warblers I found in currently inaccessible areas.  I also made a stop along Aqua Vitae Road to follow up on an Orange crowned Warbler that Scott found there yesterday during the Northampton Christmas Bird Count but I had no luck in relocating it.
