John Stup and Mark England arrived at the same time I did, so we birded 
together most of time until Mark had to leave, after which John and I 
carried on.  Lots of birds around, mostly regulars, but a couple of 
species that I see rarely, Blue-winged and Tennessee Warblers (thanks to 
Mark's persistence).  I'll list what I saw below, but while Mark and I 
wandered off looking for non-existent Canada Warblers, John encountered 
a very nice migrant flock that included the following:

Northern Parula
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Blackburnian Warbler
Black-and-White Warbler

Another birder we encountered (please send me your name if you read 
this) mentioned seeing a Nashville Warbler and some American Redstarts 
near the old school (which has recently been repainted, now looking 
pretty spiffy).
