Today was a rainy, raw day and the conditions were not too pleasant to be out in.  There were lulls between heavier showers with just a bit of drizzle and I tried to be out of the car when the lulls occurred.  The reward for the cold effort was seeing at least three singing male Cerulean Warblers at Quabbin Park!  I first found at least one (possibly two) on May 7th and had one in the same area yesterday.  Today I was able to confirm at least three individuals in distinct locations and all three remained in their chosen locations as I bounced between the spots.  None of the birds had bands so none are the one banded last year on site.  In addition I had a Black throated Blue Warbler singing a very Cerulean Warbler like song at another spot.  A productive morning despite the rainy, cool weather with a total of 15 species of warblers just in the park.
