Hadley migrants - Sept 22nd.

Had a nice run out to the Connecticut River at Hadley this morning, checking several scrubby tangles and field fringes. Nothing too exciting but good to be out in the morning watching migrants filter through the bushes. Most noteworthy were an Ovenbird, 2 Blackpoll Warblers, 3 Magnolia Warblers, 3 American Redstarts, 1 Black-and-White Warbler, 12+ Common Yellowthroats, 5 Red-eyed Vireos, 1 Blue-headed Vireo, 2 House Wrens and at least 6 White-throated Sparrows.
