I can add Wood Thrush and Least Flycatcher to the list.

For the swan, I though it was a Trumpeter, but after checked the photos at home, I am not so sure. Or maybe a hybrid?

Then I traded in Warbling Vireos for Yellow Warblers by stopping by the Wet Woods.  I looked for the probable White-Eyed Vireo reported on this site, but couldn't find one.
