Although our weather continues to be much cooler than normal with much more in the way of clouds than sun, there have still been times of the day the sun has been out and the birds are out there to found.  The current conditions should last through the end of the week and then we have a larger rainstorm to contend with Saturday through all day on Sunday.  After the storm passes we should break the pattern and get warmer temperatures and more sun and I'm sure a big influx of migrants as migration peaks.  Highlights the last three days include a White eyed Vireo at Quabbin Park (a new Quabbin bird for me) and both species of cuckoos yesterday and a Cape May and Bay breasted Warbler today at Quabbin Park.  I will add a few photos and lists from the last few days (lots of photos and audio in some of the lists)...also added my 22,000 eBird list today.
