Today I birded the Gwynns Falls Trail (western  Baltimore City) from 
Windsor Mill Rd to Winan's Meadow. Warblers and other birds were 
active and diverse, as follows:

Northern Parula - a pair near Windsor Mill Rd + 1 or 2 more
Yellow Warbler - 1
Chestnut-sided Warbler - 3
Magnolia Warbler - 3
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 2
Yellow-rumped Warbler ~2
Black-throated Green Warbler - 2+
Blackburnian Warbler - 1
Black-and-white Warbler - 2
American Redstart - 5-10
Worm-eating Warbler - 1 - heard only by the Cary Murray side road, and 
maybe a little shaky on the ID
Ovenbird
Northern Waterthrush - 1 about mile 0.75
Louisiana Waterthrush - Dead Run split from G Falls
Common Yellowthroat - ~4
Canada Warbler - 5 (first of season)

Also Swainson's Thrush at mile 0.25 (first of season), 5 Veeries (3 0n 
Cary Murray road), ~5 Wood Thrushes, 1 Scarlet Tanager, Orchard Oriole 
by Winan's Parking area, 2 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks (male), 2 Acadian 
Flycatchers, and a likely Least Flycatcher about mile 0.75 (no song 
but small and pale-looking)

Most of the activity was close to Windsor Mill Rd and around the Cary 
Murray side road, which I went up about 100-200 yards.
