I was anticipating another quiet day of reading up on medieval Central 
Asian history today, but  Debbie Terry called yesterday afternoon 
suggesting we go to Milford Mill Park (Baltimore Co) since a front was 
coming through, which I hadn't really noticed yet. A few hours later 
Mark Linardi called with the same idea. So Debbie, Mark, Keith Costley 
and I met at Milford Mill at 8:00 this morning and it was indeed very 
good. We outdid last Tuesday with 15 species of warbler, plus an 
Olive-sided Flycatcher. It was so active right at the start of the 
trail (streamside) that we didn't get further than about 50 yards for 
a half-hour or more. Our warblers were:

Blue-winged Warbler 1
Nashville Warbler 1
Chestnut-sided Warbler ~10
Magnolia Warbler ~8
Black-throated Blue Warbler 3
Black-throated Green Warbler 1
Blackburnian Warbler 1
Prairie Warbler 1
Blackpoll Warbler 1
Black-and-white Warbler ~5
American Redstart ~5
Worm-eating Warbler 1 or 2
Ovenbird 1
Northern Waterthrush 1
Canada Warbler ~5

Also
Olive-sided Flycatcher 1
Empidonax flycatchers 4-5, with varying appearances, Yellow-bellied 
and Least seeming possible among them.
Wood Thrush 1 (on the upland part of the trail, which was pretty quiet 
compared to the streamside part.)
Baltimore Oriole 3-5
Scarlet Tanager 1

And it's not even September.
