With only a little over an hour free, I hiked around this Nature Preserve (and adjoining Park) in eastern Franklin County and found a fair fallout, as was reported earlier from nearby Blendon Woods.  Most of the migrants seemed to prefer the forest edge rather than the forest, so I spent most of my limited time there.  Highlights included:

Hummingbirds - 5+, often at blooming jewelweed
Flycatchers - low #s, but good diversity, with Wood Pewee, Acadian (1 still calling), Least, and Yellow-bellied.
Vireos - could only find 5-6 Red-eyed
Wrens, Gnatcatchers - no gnatcatchers, but 10 House Wrens seemed like a good # for this overlooked migrant
Thrushes - 3 Swainson's were the only unusual thrush migrant, but 3 E.Bluebirds were a treat
Mimids - 8-10 Gray Catbirds and 1 Brown Thrasher carried the flag for this group.
Cedar Waxwings - 15, which is seriously reduced compared to the high numbers of recent days
Warblers - Tennessee, Magnolia (6), Black-thr.Green, Cape May, Blackburnian, Bay-breasted, Black&White, Redstart (5), Ovenbird, Wilson's
Others: 5 Indigo Buntings (plus 2 fledgelings);   50+ American Goldfinches (+ 4 fledgelings)
