Hello,

New migrants have been reported all over the state today. The wind combined
with the storm today was fantastic for Birding. I was very surprised to see
my first Prothonotary Warbler this morning in Preble County, at the Hueston
Woods SP Marina. Also there was an Eastern Kingbird and Solitary Sandpipers
were in, with four individuals seen. Yellow-throated Warblers were
abundant, as were Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and Chimney Swifts. Not today, but
recently at Hueston Woods, Spotted Sandpiper arrived as well as
Broad-winged Hawk, both on April 9th.
Dave and Jill Russell and I started at dawn today and did not plan to bird
all day but once we noticed our list of species increasing fast, we decided
to keep going and ended the day with 92 species, with some very easy
misses. However, it should be noted that the list also includes Birding
just across the Ohio-Indiana border, in Union, Franklin, and Wayne counties
of Indiana. Although many birds making up our list were in Indiana, the
migrants in Ohio were dripping and noteworthy, especially after viewing
eBird reports throughout the day from others. Rain or shine, migrants are
ready to be seen!

Good Birding
