Hi all:



Spent a couple of hours around Columbus this afternoon seeing what's showing up. Highlights:



North end Hoover Reservoir:

Lots of horned grebes molting into breeding plumage, big rafts of bufflehead and red-breasted mergansers, some bonaparte's gulls. The ospreys were actively nest-building, and there was a pair of phoebes flycatching from the woods next to the boardwalk.



Blendon Woods: not much to report. Had a field sparrow at the feeder at Thoreau Lake, but nothing else too remarkable. No redstarts!



Greenlawn Cemetery: had a yellow-bellied sapsucker at the pit; nothing else that could be considered an early migrant.



Good birding,
