The Columbus Audubon trip to Scioto Audubon park and Greenlawn cemetery found a modest fallout this morning.  If you add in an early side trip to Berliner Park, we had fair diversity of warblers (18 sp.) and flycatchers (6 sp.) with less diversity for vireos and thrushes.  Numbers were not great, however, and there was a decided shift of species to late migrants.  Notables included:

Yellow-billed cuckoo - 1 calling in cemetery (just before a drizzling rain, no less)
Ruby-thr.Hummingbirds - small #s at all 3 sites; watched a female building a nest over the bikepath at Scioto Audubon
E.Wood Pewee - 1-2 at every stop
Acadian Flycatcher - 4 calling in riparian forest of Berliner; fewer elsewhere
Least Flycatcher - 1 calling in cemetery
Willow FLycatcher - 1 calling in field edge north of Grange Audubon Center at Scioto Audubon park
E.Phoebe - the traditional pari around the Pit in the cemetery
Crested Flycatcher - 2 in Berliner, another in the cemetery
Vireos - Warbling common along river in Berliner (4-5) and Scioto Audubon (8+); Red eyed at every stop
Swallows - Tree, Barn, Rough-winged, and Cliff all noticeable along river and in fields at Scioto Audubon park
Gnatcatchers - still abundant, with 8-10 at every stop.
Thrushes - 3+ Wood Thrushes singing along bikepath in Berliner; Swainsons in small #s at every stop
Mimids - Catbirds abundant, especially at Scioto Audubon; 1 Brown Thrasher and 2 Mockingbirds singing at Scioto Audubon Park

 Yellow - small #s at every stop
 Nashville - decidedly less common with only singles at the three main stops
 Tennessee - common at Berliner (8-10), less so in cemetery (5-6), while absent from Scioto Audubon
 Prothonotary - 2 were singing in riparian woods in Berliner, while another was on swamp peninsula at Scioto Audubon
