Nice list Marc! I had similar success -- though not the same totals of
warblers I had 16 species -- not too bad.
One notable bird. There were 4 Common Nighthawks at the ruins a 6:30 in the
morning. I got a short clip of them -- it is in slow motion.
Also, for those near Monticello Park in Arlington. There is an Olive Sided
Flycatcher in the park now. I've also attached some video of it.

Subject: [Va-bird] Leesylvania State Park, warblers galore
Yesterday was great at Leesylvania. Today was even better. The park was
swarming with migrants this morning. I tallied 23 species of warblers, with
the help of Peter Ross, Scott Priebe, and Toby Hardwick. Tennessee was the
most unusual, in that I don't see it often in the spring along the Potomac.
It was singing atop the hill near the ruins. Notable in numbers were
Canada, chestnut sided, blackpoll, black and white, and magnolia. What was
surprising to me was the lack of rose-breasted grosbeak and migrant
flycatchers. But the warblers kept us busy from one end of the park to the
other.
Before going to Leesylvania I went to Breckinridge Road, pre-dawn. No
whip-poor-wills, but I did see 4 species of thrush (wood, Swainson's,
gray-cheeked, veery) plus pine, hooded, and black-throated green warblers,
ones that I did not see in Leesylvania.
