The peak of spring migration is now behind us for another year although there certainly are still migrants moving through and I will certainly be out trying to track stuff down.  As always it has been hectic to try to fit in as much time outside while still dealing with work and the rest of life.  The last week or so has produced some good stuff including a continued Red headed Woodpecker at Quabbin Park, a day when I found ten Mourning Warblers, a White eyed Vireo and others.  I'll include a selection of photos to illustrate some of my sightings.  I'll try to do an end of month wrap up if I can.  June will be here in less than a week and with it will come my various breeding bird surveys as the birds get down to nesting for the season.  I also hit a milestone with my 39,000th complete eBird list submitted today.
