A search for warblers today


Ovenbird, Skinner SP, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
Cerulean Warbler, Skinner SP, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
Cerulean Warbler, Skinner SP, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
Worm eating Warbler, Skinner SP, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
Wilson's Warbler, Aqua Vitae Rd, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
Black and White Warbler, Mitch's Way, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
Canada Warbler, Mitch's Way, Hadley, MA, May 14, 2020
I headed out before dawn this morning with the intention of trying to catch up with as many warbler species as I could. Unfortunately the conditions were not right overnight to bring in some the later arriving species so I fell short of a record setting day. Nonetheless I still managed to find 23 species of warbler for the day. Yet to arrive expected species (at least for me) that I did not find today include Bay breasted Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler and Mourning Warbler. I also struck out on finding a late Palm Warbler and the Orange crowned Warbler in Hadley appears to have moved on. Perhaps I will try again sometime in the next week if I get the chance.
Ovenbird, Home, Belchertown, MA, May 13, 2020
A notable capture on my camera at the water feature was an Ovenbird that showed up late yesterday and showed again today. The Ovenbird became the 15th warbler species I have captured at the water feature so far.
