:) That was me. I was at that corner from 8:15 until close to 10. It was just too fun to leave. At one point, I had both the Wilson's and a Tennessee in my binocs (which bird to watch first?). I kept thinking about leaving, but something would pop up. Even if I had seen it before, it was just fun. My total species count for the day at the Hawthorns was 28, including a brown thrasher and a female RTH, which I watched preening. For warblers, I had black and white, Tennessee, Canada, Magnolia (either the same bird multiple times or several of them), Wilson's, chestnut-sided, yellow and common yellowthroat.
At around 10, I went towards the pond, but it was pretty quiet there. On the way back, I found another Tennessee, and a hermit thrush. I was surprised that I didn't see the number of redstarts that were there last weekend, and no yellow-rumps.

Shortly after that, it clouded up and the Tennessees fell silent for the most part. In the middle of the orchard toward the northwest side, I found a singing WILSON'S WARBLER and a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. I also found a SWAINSON'S THRUSH in this general area. Later the WILSON'S had moved further north and was joined by a female-type REDSTART and a silent BAY-BREASTED WARBLER. When I was leaving, I ran into someone who had seen CANADA WARBLER and another Magnolia Warbler and Wilson's Warbler along the shrubbery beside the softball field and the northeast corner of the orchard viewed from outside the orchard.
