We have now reached the roughly half way mark of October and the weather is starting to reflect that with cooling temps with the first frost of the season looking to happen early next week following a weekend of rain and wind. The warbler numbers have dropped off considerably with Yellow rumped Warblers making up most of what I come across now as I continue looking for other species. There are still a few Palm Warblers and Blackpoll Warblers around but even those are dwindling rapidly in numbers. I did find a couple slightly late Common Yellowthroats this morning at Wentworth Farm in Amherst before the rain arrived. The next few days will be less than conducive to tracking down warblers but I will try. So far for the month I have found a total of 16 species and adding to that total at this point will be tough without a very late lingering species or a rarity from out west.
