Subject: Highbanks migrants
I didn't find a Brewsters (or kirtlands) warbler, but the pet trail (more of a swamp in some areas) at Highbanks metropark was hopping with migrants and new(ish) arrivals this morning! Many of the bird were foraging lower than normal so it felt more like being at magee than central ohio.
I had a ton of species in good numbers in the 1.5 hours I was there before work. A red-breasted nuthatch at the feeders was a surprise also!
