On Wednesday I headed over to Arcadia around dawn but not before a quick stop at Lower Mill Pond to check for shorebirds (just the expected species around there). Arcadia highlights included good numbers of Yellow Warblers and Indigo Buntings plus other good stuff. I also spent some time at the Honey Pot checking the area around the transfer station and 'That's a Plenty Farm'. Full lists from the morning:

Thursday I stayed around the local area with stops at Lake Wallace and Quabbin Park. Lake Wallace featured the continued Marsh Wren as well as lots of other stuff. Quabbin Park was fairly active in spots with a few mixed species flocks but no sign of the Mourning Warblers on that day. Lists from the day here:

Today I headed over to Winsor Dam predawn to try for Eastern Whip Poor Will and had some good luck with at least two calling. Bonus birds there included a couple Great Horned Owls calling and an American Woodcock flying around. My next stop was over to UMASS where I started at Orchard Hill and finished along the dirt road in NW campus. Nothing too unusual but some decent birds nonetheless. I finished my morning successfully looking for a Mourning Warbler over at Quabbin Park. The adult male showed quite well but briefly and I managed some decent shots of it. Quite a few other birds around this morning with the full lists with more photos below:
