addendum: I took a quick run during my remaining lunch hour down to the Philly spot, did not succeed but saw my FoFall BLACK&WHITE WARBLER at the tip. Also a fledgling ( short undeveloped tail) YELLOW WARBLER at the tip as well as a female adult in midsection. On the way out when work beckoned, another BLACK&WHITE WARBLER ( both females) in the west Lullwater.

From Eni

Hi Peter-

Besides other previously reported species saw my first Blue winged warbler on lullwater slope near crabapple trees (lookout hill side). Also saw juvenile thrush that might have been a wood thrush but hard to say since juv. in same area as blue winged - it was being chased by robins.

Also  northern waterthrush - ravine below waterfall; 3 black & white warblers; 2 redstarts- slope after nethermead arch and yellow warblers continuing on Lullwater. Two sets of balt. oriole families on lullwater this morning.
