I have spent the last three morning largely exploring areas along the west side of Quabbin and the Prescott Peninsula as well as some nearby areas.  These days have been mainly looking for breeding species (both common and unusual) and I have found a decent selection as breeding season is in full swing now.  I also followed up on reports of a few slightly unusual warblers without finding any although I did find the continued Brewster's Warbler when I swung through Amherst to run some errands.
