I have not had much time to update things here during what is always a hectic month (and perhaps even a bit more hectic this year). Migration is now slowing down and the weather conditions to end the third week have been very uncooperative for late season migrants to move through with cool conditions and unfavorable winds. I have gotten out as much as circumstance allow for the third week of the month and have concentrated on warblers. I have had a few notable warbler encounters including a Hooded Warbler that turned up at UMASS on the 16th, a number of hybrid warblers and a couple color banded Cerulean Warblers. There have been a few new arrivals of late season migrants but I suspect there will be at least one more good push once the migration conditions improve..perhaps by the end of the weekend? We shall see.
The camera at the water feature has been capturing lots of stuff this spring and the above is but a small sample of the species that have shown up....already a dozen species of warblers plus lots of other stuff.
