I had mixed warbler feeding groups in these trees each day roughly July 29-Aug 4. I have eBird reports in for those two dates that include all of your top 7 species, plus Black-throated Green and Nashville. I felt the majority of these birds, more than half juveniles, were migrants, altho several also nest locally. I felt they were migrants because they were all there together, especially each morning.
