I was told of a Hooded Warbler male that is located at Quabbin that has been there for several days if not weeks . I was told this info only on the agreement that I not disclose the location as the finder of the bird was very concerned that undue pressure would be put on the bird. I will honor this request but wanted to share photos of this unusual bird. This is my first Hooded Warbler at Quabbin and adds yet another species to my Quabbin list (I have also added Blue Grosbeak, Sandhill Crane and Red Phalarope this year). Here are a few record shots of the bird as well as a few other photos from recent trips to various spots at Quabbin.
