After being on my way to work, working or getting held at work for the first four days of the month I finally had a couple mornings off and I could spend a few hours tracking down species for July.  July is usually a slow month bird wise so I was not too disappointed about not being able to get out a lot to start the month.  For the last couple mornings I stayed in the south Quabbin area yesterday and then the south part of the west side of Quabbin today with my main focus being warblers.  I added 23 species for the month in just two mornings with a few unusual species including multiple Red Crossbills (all Type 12) and Acadian Flycatcher.  I now stand at 116 species for the month.
