The start of December with Yellow rumped Warblers

I started off the new month of December trying my best to track down a warbler for the month before I leave for warmer locales.  I decided to head out on a cold morning to a spot along the river in Hadley that has featured some Yellow rumped Warblers during previous winters and I happily ran across two Yellow rumped Warblers after a bit of searching.  I was able to get photos of one among some bittersweet.  The warblers extend my streak of seeing at least one species of warbler in Hampshire County out to 92 consecutive months.  I checked a few other spots for other warblers but came up empty.  Although not a warbler I did find a county first Harlequin Duck to finish the morning.
