Now that I'm back in the frozen north for a short time I eventually made it out late this morning to try to track down a warbler here. I wanted to get out early but snow clean up took most of the morning (after starting it yesterday after I got home). By the time I made it to a spot along the river the breeze was steadily picking up. I walked the trail in that was packed down fairly well and on my return I heard one calling as it flew over. I then got totally soaked trudging through about a foot and a half of snow trying to relocate it without any luck. Would have loved to get some photos of it. Nonetheless it was still nice to have at least one surviving despite all the snow and cold. I'm now at 106 consecutive months of at least one warbler in Hampshire County. Hopefully I will be able to get some photos of a Yellow rumped Warbler before I head off to warmer locales in about a week.
