I squeezed a trip in to Innis Park, along the Alum Creek Greenway in Columbus, yesterday morning, and had a good morning for migrants.  The clear cold morning allowed me to seek out sunny spots in the park, which is where most of the birds were having breakfast.   Highlights from an hour included:

Flycatchers: Crested Flycatcher, Wood Pewee (6+), OLIVE-SIDED
Vireos: Warbling, Red-eyed
Wrens,Gnatcatchers:  House & Carolina Wrens, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (2)
Thrushes & Mimids:  Wood Thrush, E.Bluebird, Robins, Catbird (25+)
Warblers: CERULEAN, Bl.thr.Green, Magnolia, Chesnut-sided, Blackburnian, Redstart, Wilson's, Hooded
Sparrows:  E.Towhee (3), Chipping Sparrows, Song Sparrows
Others: Indigo Buntings, Rose-br.Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole

Most of the birds were foraging in trees and bushes catching morning sun, with the best spots being the soccer field and the old Innis homestead.  This is an extraordinary site for such an urban location (about 5 minutes south of the Easton shopping area), and I'll describe it more carefully on the Columbus Audubon website soon.
