Subject: Cerulean Warblers in NE Ohio
Ceruleans heard and seen at Mohican State Park near Loudonville on Saturday 5/23 and previously 2 weeks before that. Going in the entrance on Rte 3, drive straight back toward the cabins and go over the bridge near the cabins (not the covered bridge elsewhere in the park). Sometimes they are in the trees on the corner just over the bridge and other times I have seen them in the trees straight ahead. When you take the curve to cross the bridge, park near that intersection and walk across the street into the trees where you will see a small wooden footbridge--that whole area is where we've heard and seen them as recently as 3 days ago. They have been there at least 2.5 weeks. Good luck.

> "It's 8 AM. Do you know where your migrants are?"
> Migration has slowed to a crawl here in central Ohio. After a modest fallout along the lower Scioto yesterday, I checked several good migrant traps upstream with even less impressive results. I found lots of new & prospective residents, but only a few birds that would qualify as bona fide migrants. Sites surveyed included Long St. dam, Wyman Woods & the Goodale corridor in Grandview, Griggs dam, and Redick Park. Notables included:
>
> Cormorants - flyovers at several spots emphasized that these birds are a summer fixture here, thanks to the new nesting colony at the McKinley Quarry discovered by OBBA2 volunteer Marcia Brehmer
>
> Herons - Great Blues were common along the river here (due to the same quarry rookery), but no Green Herons or Night Herons could be found.
>
> Yellow-billed Cuckoos - single singing birds were below Long St. dam and Griggs dam. These are good potential nesting habitat for this species, but they are also one of our latest migrants.
>
> Flycatchers - Wood Pewees were at every stop, even in suburban Grandview. Grandview also had a calling Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (at the intersection of Broadview & Goodale).
>
> Vireos - singing Red-eyed were at most sops; they'll nest even in suburban areas here. Warbling were common only at Long St dam, which has lots of Cottonwoods (their favored tree).
>
> Swallows - Cliff Swallows have abandoned their brief colony at the I-670 bridge, but persist at the Fishinger Rd bridge. Rough-wings were at several spots along the river, but Banks were a no-show at Griggs.
>
> Thrushes - no Swainsons, but singing Wood Thrushes were below Long St dam and Griggs dam (both potential nesting spots).
>
> Warblers - Redstarts at Long St. and Grandview were likely migrants, as was a Blackburnian male singing below Griggs dam. Likely residents were a singing Parula and Prothonotary below Griggs dam.
