Did you see many warblers?
This might be an immature Bay-breasted warbler,
but wait for better ID because I suck at this.

I think you are correct on this one.  I did see Adult male Bay-breasted, but this one threw me off, since I didn't get a good view of the chest.
It was my first ever visit to Thickson's Woods.  I saw quite a variety but not large numbers.  I got there around 3pm.  The ones I saw were Yellow, American Redstart(s male and female), Nashville, Wilson's, Tennessee, Blackpoll, Magnolia, Bay-breasted, Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian, Black-throated Green.

That's great. Many of the species I've been hoping to see. I should have gone
to Thickson but it's such a long way to take a borrowed car. I decided to stay
close by instead. Have not visited Thickson in a long time.

Yes Bay-breasted, tough to say juvenile male or female for me
