A few hours roaming several creekside parks along Alum Creek (Innis Park & Tanager Woods) and nearby Big Walnut Creek (Cherrybottom & Woodside Green) here in Columbus found that migration is moving forward, though not at quite the pace as up along Lake Erie.  There were no big waves of temperate migrants, but some of them were starting to show up; most of the migrants were 2nd wave neotropical migrants.  Notables included:

Sapsucker - 1 at Cherrybottom (my FOS)
Flycatchers - only E.Wood PEwees, but 5-6 with at least 1 at every stop.
Vireos - 2-3 Red-eyed at Innis Park
Blue Jays - perhaps 20+ on the morning, a good # for these locations
Thrushes - 8-10 Swainsons (all locations), along with 2 Gray-cheeks (both at Tanager Woods)
Mimids - 20+ Catbirds & 1 thrasher at Innis Park, lesser #s of catbirds at other stops.
Cedar Waxwings - 20-40 at everay stop; most feasting on berry bushes or trees

Warblers - 12 species: Tennessee (2), Magnolia (4), Black-thr.BLue (1 at Innis), Black-thr.Green (8+, at every stop), CapeMay (4), Bay-breasted (2), Blackpoll (3), Blackburnian (2 at Tanager Woods), Yellow-rumped (1 at Cherrybottom, FOS), Redstart (6+), Ovenbird (1 at Cherrybottom), N.Waterthrush (1 at Cherrybottom).

Grosbeaks - good #s, with 7 Rose-breasted at 3 sites.  This must be near their peak.
Buntings - decent #s, with 5 at 3 sites
Sparrows - no unusual species, but a flock of 15+ Chipping at Woodside Green was unusual this early
