MA - Amherst warblers - 10/07

With no time to bird this week it's been enjoyable just seeing birds from the apartment. Today produced several warblers including a nice wave of Blackpolls (8) with a couple of Yellow-rumps and a fabulous Black-throated Green Warbler. Also about 35 Canada Geese flew south, not particularly high so they may have been heading from the UMass Campus pond to the local fields to feed.

Blackpoll Warbler - first-winter. Appalling digibin shot of one bird from a group of three.
