Kenneth Shepherd joined me on a pleasant walk at the Whittier this morning (south of downtown Columbus, site of new Audubon Center) and these are the species we observed:
 
Brown creeper -1
Golden-crowned kinglet - 3
Cooper's hawk - 1 
Carolina chickadee - 3
American goldfinch -8
American robin - 4
White-throated sparrow - 3
Song sparrow - 2
Mourning dove - 9
Northern cardinal - 12
Herring gull - 3
Ring-billed gull - 310
Great blue heron -10
Pied-billed grebe - 1
American black duck - 22
Mallard - 11
Hooded merganser - 4
Canada goose - 24
Downy woodpecker -1
American Crow - 3
(Ken, I saw the downy and crows as I was leaving the parking lot, you may have missed them!).
 
Amazingly there were no cormorants, and I looked in almost all of their usual hideaways (Murphy's law: that's what happens when you post you "always" see a bird in a particular location!).  I didn't check down by Berliner park, so they may be there (in case anyone on this list is actually concerned about the location of wintering cormorants).
 
Cheers,
Heather
