Now that we have power back again after losing it for three days following the passage of Tropical Storm Isaias I managed to get out birding a bit this morning. I started off at Lake Wallace which had at least 14 Green Herons (a great spot for this species in late summer). My next stop was over to Gate 5 at Quabbin where I ran into Greg but didn't find any unusual species. Then I headed a bit north to Pelham to check a few more areas and the highlights up there included three Canada Warblers at a small marsh area, a late Louisiana Waterthrush and more Red Crossbills.
Around midday at home I was doing some more cleanup around the yard and heard a mixed flock moving through so I decided to take a look with binoculars of the birds. The third bird I looked at was a Blue winged Warbler...a species I have been trying to find in the yard for almost 15 years! I ran inside and got my camera and I managed to get a few photos of the bird. Yard species #171 and the 29th species of warbler for the yard. More on the warbler can be found at the following
