I hiked down the Berliner Park bikepath this morning and relocated the Blue Grosbeak along the large open weedfield at the south end of the park. It's a 'gray' male and was calling rather than singing today. Also along the bikepath were 4 singing Prothonotary warblers, 3-4 Pewees & Red-eyed Vireos, and 6+ Warbling Vireos, along with the expected chickadees, woodpeckers, and wrens. An adult bald Eagle was patrolling the Scioto River here as well.
At the nearby Willow Run-Big Run parks cluster, I had a feeding flock of 10 Bank Swallows. This makes it very likely that they have a small colony somewhere in the quarries along the Scioto here, so anyone visiting the area should give flying swallows extra scrutiny. These parks also had juvenile Cooper's and Red-tailed Hawks, as well as singing Wood Thrush and Yellow-throated Warblers.
