The end of July

Black throated Green Warbler, Quabbin Gate 8, Pelham, MA, Jul 27. 2023

After returning from a trip down to the Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland area I managed to get out a bit around here on my few days off and as expected found a number of fledgling warblers and the amount of song much reduced.  July is usually a slow period for warblers overall and the later in the month it gets the less song there is to hear.  Post breeding dispersal is already starting to take place for a few species and some early migrant species (like Louisiana Waterthrush) are already moving south.  I found a total of 19 species in the county for the month and 24 species overall.
