Another cool morning start that eventually warmed to around 60 with a slight breezy out of the north found me heading over to Hadley. I made a brief stop along the Connecticut River to look for shorebirds and found just a single Solitary Sandpiper. Without much around for shorebirds I headed over to the Honey Pot where I spent the next few hours exploring the area. Lots of good stuff around the area (full list below). Between my stops in Hadley and a walk with Wilson along the Jabish Canal I ended the day with 16 species of warbler and around 75 species total.
