This morning (May 22) a quick tour by Bill Shepard and me to Vermont birding
sites in Hartland, Windsor, Hartford, and Pomfret produced more than 45 bird
species.

Two highlights were near the intersection of Marton and Pond Roads in northern
Windsor. To the northeast of that intersection a Golden-winged Warbler was
singing, whereas to the northwest of the intersection was a singing Brewster's
Warbler. The latter, both in its appearance and song (like that of a Blue-winged
Warbler), closely matched the Brewster's Warbler found in the same place on May
12. A fairly conservative interpretation is that the same individual Brewster's
has remained there for at least 10 days. 

Today, in the vicinity of the Golden-winged Warbler was a singing Tennessee
Warbler.

An impression this morning was that many migrating warblers which have provided
a spectacular showing in the Upper Valley during the past week might have now
moved on with the arrival of clearer weather.
