The third week of August has now come to an end and the warbler migration has continued to pick up with more and more mixed flock in evidence.  A number of early species continue to show up in unusual numbers including Northern Parula and Tennessee Warbler.  Mixed flocks have continued to become more numerous and varied.  I have so far had 23 species of warbler for Hampshire County for the month and I suspect I will add a few more species before the month comes to an end.
