Mark Linardi and I birded at Cylburn this morning. The diversity was 
not great, but the numbers of Blackpoll and Magnolia Warblers was 
pretty amazing. They particularly seemed to be in every spruce tree on 
the property, sometimes with two or three in view at one time. We 
tried hard to find Cape Mays in the spruces, but were not successful. 
We did get decent looks at 3 Bay Breasted Warblers, and also a Black 
throated Green and a Canada. There was a surprising absence of migrant 
thrushes, with only 2 Wood Thrushes.
Our warblers:

Northern Parula     2
Yellow Warbler     2
Magnolia Warbler     15+
Yellow-rumped Warbler     1 (late! but seen well)
Black-throated Green Warbler     1
Bay-breasted Warbler     3
Blackpoll Warbler     25+
American Redstart     2
Canada Warbler     1
