A brief stop at this floodplain forest park in southeast Columbus found migration still inching along, with mostly temperate migrants, but a few surprises.  The notables in less than an hour were:

Sapsuckers - 2
Red-bellied woodpeckers - 8 (double the usual # here)
Swallows - barn , tree, rough-winged
House Wren - 3-4
Blue-gray gnatcatchers - 6
Ruby-cr.Kinglets - 5
Hermit Thrush - 1
Yellow-throated Warbler - 3
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 2
PRAIRIE WARBLER - 1 (singing male)
E.Towhee - 3
Chipping Sparrows - 5
White-thr.Sparrows - 6

The Prairie was the first I've ever seen at this site, but was likely a passage bird since there is really no habitat for them here.  Given the spate of reports of them in the past 2 days, especially Dave Hess's 3 singing down near Chillicothe, I would think that they had a mini-wave of arrivals.
