I had a record setting August for warblers in Hampshire County this year with a total of 26 species. This beats my previous August record of 24 species that I reached in both 2023 and 2017. The record high is mainly thanks to a variety of early arriving migrants from the north including loads of Tennessee Warblers, Nashville Warbler, Mourning Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Northern Parula, Bay breasted Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler and Wilson's Warbler plus a few early migrant species that lingered early in the month including Louisiana Waterthrush and Worm eating Warbler. Now comes the big fall migration month of September.
