I made several stops at places nearby this morning and early afternoon.  
The highlights were a yellow-bellied sapsucker at Metzger Park in 
Westerville, golden-crowned kinglets at Sharon Woods, a cerulean wabler at 
Heritage Park in Westerville, and a spotted sandpiper just above Hoover 
Dam on the west bank.
At Metzger Park, Heritage Park, and Hoover Dam, American Robins were 
carrying nesting material.  
At Sharon Woods I saw the first great blue heron I've seen there since 
October.  Also in Sharon Woods there was a lone ring-necked duck on 
Schrock Lake.
Below Hoover Dam there were numerous swallows flying over the soccer 
field.  They were flying too fast for me to get an id but I think they 
were rough-winged swallows.  There were also three or four tree swallows 
flying around the spillway.
There were yellow-rumped warblers at Heritage Park and below Hoover Dam.
