Migration in New England 2012

So not alot to say I've been birding like crazy, but overall the migration season seemed pretty lackluster in southeastern New England.  I got my fair share of migrants, but the abunance at several hot spots was way down.  I had to fight to get several of the standards for spring migration.  I did not see a Bay breasted and I still don't have Cerulean Warbler yet either.  Errrrr!  I did add two to my life list lately though (Lawrence's Warbler and a Spruce Grouse.) 

Without further fanfare here are a few photos for your enjoyment.

Wow, fantastic variety! And you dare complain?! Seriously though, great stuff, so many warblers we don't get out west. Glad you shared them!
