culprits such ad chickadee, nuthatches, whitethroated and song sparrows,
bluejays,doves, etc.

>> The south winds last night brought in some new migrants here along the

>> nothing that hasn't already been widely reported elsewhere. At this point
>> it seems to be the trees and not the weather that is keeping the
>> migration
>> slower than usual.
>>
>> Birds along my local stretch of the Scioto during a 30 min. walk late
>> this
>> morning produced the following sightings :
>>
>> 1 Great Crested Flycatcher
>> 1 White-eyed Vireo
>> 3 Blue-headed Vireos
>> 1 Yellow-throated Vireo
>> 2 Warbling Vireos
>> 2 Red-eyed Vireos
>> 2 House Wrens
>> 3 Ruby-crowned Kinglets
>> 7 pairs of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
>> 2 Swainson's Thrushes
>> 1 Wood Thrush
>> 3 Gray Catbirds
>> 1 Tennessee Warbler
>> 7 Nashville Warblers
>> 3 Yellow Warblers
>> 48 Yellow-rumped Warblers
>> 1 Black-throated Green Warbler
>> 1 Blackburnian Warbler
>> 4 Yellow-throated Warblers
>> 1 Pine Warbler (female)
>> 2 Palm Warblers
>> 1 Black-and-white Warbler
>> 1 Ovenbird
>> 2 Baltimore Orioles
>>
>> Yellow-rumps are still abundant here, but the numbers of Ruby-cr Kinglets
>> and Palm Warblers have thinned a bit since the last infusion of new
>> birds.
>> I'm still hoping for a territorial Prothonotary to show up here before I
>> break down and head to Hoover or Spring Valley for that tick on my
>> yearlist.
>>
>> This evening a walk on the bike path on the other side of the river S of
>> 5th Ave. wasn't very productive. Besides the resident Warbling Vireos,
>> B-g
>> Gnatcatchers and Yellow-thr Warblers, the only passerines of note were
>> ~12
>> Yellow-rumped, 2 Nashville, 1 Yellow, and 3 Palm Warblers. An Osprey was
>> a
>> flyover. Besides getting some excersise, the walk to the bridges at the
>> Grandview exits of I-670 was still worthwhile with the arrival of the
>> Cliff Swallows in numbers. At least 50 pairs are now occupying and
>> retouching last year's nests. I didn't see any new nest building from
>> from
>> scratch by any of them.
