Warblers to end the second week of the month

Yellow rumped Warbler 'myrtle', Amherst, MA, Oct 14, 2024
Common Yellowthroat, Amherst, MA, Oct 14, 2024
Nashville Warbler, Amherst, MA, Oct 14, 2024
Palm Warbler 'yellow', Amherst, MA, Oct 14, 2024

I ended the last day of the second week of October exploring in Amherst on a cool, damp and occasionally rainy morning looking for warblers.  I managed to track down four species in the gloom in Amherst with the vast majority being Yellow rumped Warblers.  Although far from record breaking I was happy to see that many species given the conditions.  I have not had much of a chance to bird the last few days due to work and other commitments so it was nice to be out today, even if it was less than ideal warbler weather.  The next few days continue to look cool and windy but then there should be a warm up to end the week and continue for at least a few days after that.
