I failed in my attempt early yesterday morning to turn up a warbler in February when I stopped by a spot at Arcadia where I have had them recently. I think I was just too early in the morning to have them active but I didn't have much time at all before work.  With a little more time this morning I headed out after work this with the main intention of finding a warbler in Hampshire County for the month of February.  My first stop of the morning was down to the East Meadows where after a little bit of walking I ran across at least two Yellow rumped Warblers.  I'm sure there were even more to be found but I was dead tired and still wanted to try my luck in tracking down the Pine Warbler coming to a feeder at a private residence in Granby before heading some to sleep.  I arrived at the house around 8:30 and after a wait of about 20 minutes or so the Pine Warbler made an appearance at the suet feeders.  I was thankful once again for the homeowner (Carol M.) for letting me stop by to see this hardy bird.  It was first time for me ever having a Pine Warbler in February in Hampshire County and only the second eBird record for the species ever for the month in the county.  This is also the first time I have ever had more than a single warbler species for the month of February in the county and I got them both within one morning!  This now becomes the 34th month in a row I have had at least one species of warbler in the county.
