I birded around several areas in this south Columbus Park, starting at
Heron Pond and working south past the borrow pits area to the Confluence
area. Migrant fallout was mixed with very few warblers, but plenty of
thrushes, mostly Swainson's. The borrow pits still had high water, so no
shorebirds and only a few herons (1 Great Egret, 1 Green Heron). Landbird
migrants included:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo - 1 was foraging in the forest along the bikepath at
the Confluence area
Flycatchers - Pewees and Phoebes in several spots; also had a calling
Acadian near the Borrow pits
Vireos - Red-eyed in several spots, but nothing else
Thrushes - Swainson's widespread, probably the most common migrant. Also
had single Gray-cheeked and Wood Thrushes
Mimids - Catbirds widespread but not numerous; also had a Brown Thrasher at
the Confluence area
Warblers - very few. Did have Magnolias and Redstarts in several areas.
Also had Bay-breasted near the Borrow Pits, and ComYellowthroat near the
powerline cut
Buntings,Grosbeak - Rose-br.Grosbeak at the Confluence area, Indigo
Buntings at several spots
