I went to Sims Park on Lake Erie in Euclid this morning around 11:30 and stayed til around 3:30pm.  I didn't have as much variety in warblers but the quantity was impressive for Sims Park.  Right after I got there the warblers were flying from the tall trees on the south side of the woods and then shooting out to the other trees.  Many flycatchers I could not ID.  It was hard to follow it all.  Most of the birds I saw were in the west end of the park (east of the apt bldgs) especially the north south disk golf green stretching from the woods towards Lakeshore Blvd with trees and bushes lining both sides of the "greens".  They were also flying back and forth to the trees in the middle of the park.  It would start to slow down and they continued to be seen so it was hard to leave.  Did not see any unusual thrushes here and the woods are full of beaten down paths with disk golf players who were stirring up the birds with the flying frisbees. 
 Here is some of what was seen:
 
Northern Flickers 3
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1
