13 warblers and a flyover Red-headed Woodpecker

I spent about 3 hours early this morning birding my yard.

I found 13 species of warblers:
C Yellowthroat
L Waterthrush
Blackburnian
Black&White
Ovenbird
Chestnut-sided
Magnolia
Redstart
Nashville
Blue-winged
Tennesee
Wilson's
Bay-breasted

I missed black-throated green, connecticut, golden-winged and Yellow.

Other interesting birds found this morning include:
a flyover Red-headed Woopecker
Brown thrasher
a female Scarlet Tanager
Blue-headed Vireo
Swainson's Thrush
B Kingfisher

I found 42 species total.
One of these days, I'll find time to do a county big day. I would guess that during peak migration, it's quite possible to break 120 in a day.
