I visited Villa Nova Park today (Sep 2) and had a nice batch of warblers
totaling 11 species. (This park is in western Baltimore Co about a mile east
of Milford Mill Park along the same stream. It's inside the Beltway off of
Villa Nova Rd which is off of Essex Rd north of Liberty Rd.) The warblers
were.

Parula - 1
Chestnut-sided Warb - 3+
Magnolia - 3+
Black-throated Green - 2
Blackburnian - 1
Redstart - 2
B&W - 3+
Yellowthroat - 3+
Nashville - 1
Wilson's - 1
Canada - 1

I also saw a Red-breasted Nuthatch today like Joel Martin at nearby Milford
Mill yesterday.

Some other species were
R-b Grosbeak - 1
Scarlet Tanager - 2+
Baltimore Oriole - 1
Great Cr Fly - 1
Least Flycatchers - 1 or 2 (ID based on "whit" notes, strong white eye-ring
and wingbars, small compact appearance. They also seemed to flit about more
like warblers for what that's worth).
