I know that all of southeast Florida has had good birds the last two days, but I thought I'd chime in anyway. I spent about an hour and a half walking the Miami Shores Country Club gulf course this afternoon (6:00- 7:30). The best area for warblers on the gulf course is a medium sized hammock on the south side of the course, east of the railroad tracks. There were 10 warbler species there:
Northern Parula
Blackpoll Warbler
Palm Warbler- maybe my last of the season
Prairie Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird
American Redstart
Common Yellowthroat

There was also a Northern Waterthrush working the small pond surrounded by Australian Pines west of the rail road tracks and the canal pump station. This is on the northern part of the gulf course.

Also seen at the gulf course:
Cattle and Great Egrets
Great Blue and Tricolored Herons
Chimney Swift
Yellow-billed Cuckoo- two
Orange-winged Parrot- 19; it seems they are roosting here
Chestnut-fronted Macws- Red-masked Parakeet- 4
White-winged Parakeet- 2
Pileated Woodpecker- 1
Downy Woodpecker- 1
Barn Swallow
