Although it was not a nice day as far as the weather was concerned with rain on and off and temps in the 40's and 50's I had to get out and see what I could find as it is early May after all. I spent the morning around Quabbin Park as I dodged one bout of rain after another. When the rain let up activity increased with multiple species around. I had my highest total for the spring so far with 17 species of warblers in the park including my first Chestnut sided Warbler of the year (species #41 for the year in the US) plus my first American Redstart for the county this year. Although many of the species are just arriving those that have been around for a few weeks are getting down to nesting and I had a Pine Warbler gathering nesting material.
