Rob Jett reported in his day's productive observations plus i received a text message from Scott of two high valued species that adds up to 18 species warblers seen today on this very impressive day.
[ addenum #1: i just received a report from Keir that he had Blackburnian, making it 19! warbler species)
In adddition to this morning's early posting, Rob's Nashville, Tennessee, Northern Waterthrush supplements Scott's Worm-eating warbler as additional "new" warbler species ; ON the nonwarbler side, Scott also reported Yellow-bellied Flycatcher.
Be sure to take a walk this evening and maybe catch Common Nighthawks flying over.Wind is supposed to stay on a northerly eastern course .Place yourself near the Tennis House and look south (or even above) over the Upper and Lower Pools forest perimeter. Or even the Nethermead is good to watch as well (looking north above Quaker towards the Midwood). Let me know if you see nighthawks or anything eles..I have to go to a coney island cyclones game. Enjoy the tail end of this migration surge this day if you get out. Sometimes 7 pm is best usually after ...
Cheers,
The Kingsboider
addenum #2 ; Joe Giunta ( see his report below) reported PINE WARBLER which is the 20th warbler species seen in Prospect on 9/5.
addenum #3 PRAIRIE WARBLER seen by Tom Stephenson and Scott Whittle, now the warbler species count has gone up to 21 species ! A tremendous day!

from Keir Randall:
hi Peter
[I was just about to send this and saw you latest posts from Rob and Scott so probably a little repetitive. But my Blackburnian Warbler this pm would put the day PP warbler count at 19 :)]
Great day! Things slowed down a little after noon but I still picked up a few new species. Some additions to your list:
probable Acadian Flycatcher (Nethermead Arches)
Swainson's Thrush (West slope of Lookout pm)
Blackpoll Warbler (a few, Lookout, Peninsular)
Blackburnian Warbler (Female, near eye level views, bridle path in Ravine just upslope from Nethermead Arches)
Northern Waterthrush (several, Peninsular, Ravine)
My total warbler count was 16 and others may have had more (Rob Jett had seen Nashville)
