After hearing a Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Brown Thrasher in my yard, 
I decided to check out Milford Mill Park this morning. Highlights:

Blue-headed Vireo - 1, my first of the season, a very richly-colored 
bird just above eye-level.

Least Flycatcher - 1, based on gray upperparts, big eye-ring, short 
wings, small bill and very pale underside.

Phoebe - 1, first-of-season

Chestnut-sided Warbler - 1
Magnolia Warbler - 3
Black-throated Green Warbler - 1, it even had a black throat!
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1, adult male
Black-and-white Warbler - 2
American Redstart - 1
Common Yellowthroat - 2

Afterwards I stopped a while at Druid Ridge Cemetery (near 
Reisterstown Road and the Beltway). There was little of note there 
except a Swamp Sparrow and a Phoebe at the pond. It would seem like a 
good place to watch for migrating hawks, but not today near noon.
