Surveyed for OBBA II early this morning before heading to Columbus for the Kirtland's (which was still there when I arrived - am I lucky or what!)

red-bellied woodpecker
downy woodpecker
northern flicker
pileated woodpecker

tree swallow
barn swallow
house wren
gray catbird
northern mockingbird - obvious pair
brown thrasher  - nestbuilding

(I found a pair of hermit thrushes in Knox Co. earlier in the a.m., also my FOY)
American robin
blue-gray gnatcatcher
Carolina chickadee
