I had another great morning along the river with a number of highlights including another Connecticut Warbler, a very cooperative Eastern Screech Owl and my first Philadelphia Vireo of the year.  The Connecticut Warbler was a bit more cooperative this morning compared to the one I found yesterday and I managed to get a few photos that are identifiable.  The owl provided me with the best views I have had of an Eastern Screech Owl around here in quite awhile.  I noticed a very agitated mixed flock and in the middle of the melee was the owl just trying to blend in.  The Philadelphia Vireo was within a mixed species flock and provided me with another new species for the county this year...#218.  Full list from my stop at Silvio Conte NWR with many more photos at the following link:  http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31506925

Before dawn I made my way to Winsor Dam and still had at least one Eastern Whip Poor Will calling.
I also checked the Honey Pot and the East Meadows before my stop at Silvio Conte NWR.  A few decent looking fields at both locations but just a few dozen Killdeer around (plus an unidentified fly by peep species).  Now we just need some rain at the right time to down some migrant shorebirds.

I made my way to Quabbin Park before the light rain started late morning and found a couple mixed species flocks in the small area I covered and turned up another Philadelphia Vireo as well as great selection of warblers.  I ended the morning with a total of 19 species of warbler with highlights including the Connecticut Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Cape May Warbler and Bay breasted Warbler.  Full list from my stop at Quabbin Park:  http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S31507731
