The first week of May has produced a total 23 species of warbler for me with 24 total for the spring migration season so far (the Hooded Warbler at the end of April didn't continue into May unfortunately).  I have been out most days and have had some great luck so far with several species still to come over the next couple weeks.  Expected species that are yet to arrive for me include Tennessee Warbler, Cape May Warbler, Bay breasted Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Mourning Warbler and Wilson's Warbler but most should show very soon (except the Mourning Warbler which is a later migrant).
