The warblers are really back now in decent numbers thanks to a few nights of great migration conditions. Yesterday was a fantastic day at
Quabbin Park with loads of warblers around (really impressive numbers of several species including Cape May Warbler, Black throated Blue Warbler and Northern Parula as well as others). Most were showing fairly well although many were up high but thanks to a late leaf out that was not an issue with seeing them. The warblers continued into today with a few new ones for me for the year (Bay breasted Warbler and Blackpoll Warbler).

The yard was good for warblers today with 15 species including Tennessee, Canada and Wilson’s Warbler. One of the more unique sightings was a Yellow rumped Warbler with a white head that I managed to get a few shots before it disappeared. I would have loved to have gotten some clearer photos and more prolonged looks. Not really sure what the issue was with the individual but it is not something I have come across before and I have looked at many thousands of Yellow rumped Warblers over the years. Repeated searches later in the day failed to relocate the individual. The camera at the water featured captured a few of the warblers including a photo bombing Wilson’s Warbler which became the 16th species of warbler at the water feature.
