Alan & all, depending of course what all the ten warbler spp. you refer to, there were in any event at least 21 warbler species in Central Park (Manhattan, N.Y. City) this Saturday, 22 Aug. 2015, with 20 spp. found in the north end of Central, NOT including Mourning - thus the figured 21. Other species noted in the northern woods included a Blue-winged Warbler showing some "Brewster's" traits, thanks to Tom Perlman, & a (perhaps-1st of the fall in CP) Blackpoll, thanks to Ken Chaya, plus Worm-eating (Loch), & all the rest of warblers as seen in the past week or so, along with some flycatchers, vireos, a few tanagers (Scarlet), quite a few orioles (Baltimore) and a mid-afternoon flurry of Eastern Kingbirds, which came in en masse thru the Loch, some bathing quickly, and/or drinking, some merely seeming to observe the others. It was not highly-active for migrants all around but in modest patches, with 1 patch being esp. good in the woods north of the Loch, & later at the Loch itself during the warmest time of day. I did not look too much in any areas besides the north woods, but was aware of a bit of activity elsewhere, & at least the wind & sky looked conducive to some diurnal migration over Manhattan. Tonight just may bring much more migration as conditions seem pretty good!
