HBC's October Meeting: "Warblers of Mexico: Endemics, near endemics and migrants" with Larry Therrien

  • Tue, October 13, 2026

  • Hitchcock Center for the Environment, 845 West St, Amherst, MA 01002

Larry Therrien is bringing us his latest warbler program, this time focusing on the warblers of Mexico.  Mexico hosts a number of endemic and near endemic species as well as many migratory warblers and has the highest count of new world warblers of any country in the world.  The journey will cover areas throughout Mexico from Baja California to the Gulf of Mexico. 

Larry Therrien is probably the most prolific birder in western Massachusetts and can be found birding most days in Hampshire County and around the Quabbin.  He is the eBird reviewer for the three counties of the Connecticut River Valley of Massachusetts, a former member of the Massachusetts Avian Records Committee, annually conducts a number of breeding bird surveys of various types, and guides in the area. The number of checklists he has submitted to eBird is the most in the state by a very wide margin (more than twice the second-place observer) and ranks 10th in the entire US. He has traveled extensively in Central and South America as well as throughout the Caribbean with the focus of most of these trips being new world warblers. We can follow his adventures through his blog "Quabbin Birding and Beyond", or his more targeted and international passion through "The Pursuit of Warblers". He lives in Belchertown with his wife Sherri and their dog Wilson.
