As I knew I'd missed a handful of warblers, I figured I'd wait for someone
with better ears to post first.  The only bird I can really add to Jeff's
post (warbler-wise) was a beautiful BAY-BREASTED Warbler at the Maintenance
Yard.  I believe that three of the four or five birders present at the time
were able to see it.  It was a lifer for me!

Good birding,
