I stuck close to home again today as I wanted to make sure I was home to watch Wilson as he continues to recover from surgery he had on Saturday. I started off before dawn at Quabbin Gate 5 before eventually moving on to Quabbin Park. After getting most of the expected warbler species over the previous
two days I decided to concentrate on the Cerulean Warblers at Quabbin Park. I have consistently had at least one there since early May and many times have had two. I even had
three singing males on a couple occasions. I have been working with some DCR biologists in keeping tabs on the Cerulean Warblers in the park and today was a great day with three singing males once again. Two of the individuals are not banded and if the biologist can fit it into their busy schedule they may try to capture and band the remaining unbanded birds. I will do a more in depth post on the Cerulean Warblers once the breeding season is over in regards to site fidelity and the return of previously banded birds.

There were other warblers around with all on breeding territory and I got photos of a few among a lucky 13 species of warblers.

My boy is slowly recovering and is doing fairly well given his age...hopefully he will be up for a real walk tomorrow.
