Massive, massive mneemvot into western mass. Spent the day birding around UMASS and areas nearby 110 species with 27 species of warbler (26.5 if you count Brewster's Warbler as a half but since we had two brewster's maybe it does count as one!) with highlights of Orange-crowned, Bay-breasted, Tennessee, several each of Canada and Wilson's, four vireo species, 40+ Baltimore Oriole, etc

Thats not so concerning at all, the sratinmerets were down in the -20'000 range a few days ago. this looks purely like changes in atmospheric pressure (weather). I think what we should look out there is:As long as BUR and STO behave similiar, theres nothing going to happen. When Burfell takes the Opposite direction of STO, then we should watch out.why do i think this? some days ago someone posted a link with a picture of the MET office during the hekla eruption in 2000. There you could clearly see the strain lines of STO and BUR. but what i dont know is why the strainrates for HELLA are changing that much and that often (something going on in the SIZ)
