I visited this greenbelt for an hour this morning, and found migration at full throttle, much as other posters around the state have noted.  The Greenbelt, in the southeastern part of Columbus, includes several patches of riparian woods along Blacklick Creek, as well as overgrown fields and 2 man-made flood-control wetlands (which were quite full from the recent rains).  The mix of habitats at the urban edge makes for a good trap for a wide diversity of migrants.  Todays highlights included

Canada Geese - a flock of 350+ on the wetlands presaged big winter flocks yet-to-come
Great Egret - at least 1 was fishing along with several Great Blue Herons in the wetlands
Ruby-thr.Hummingbird - 2, despite a lack of nearby feeders
Flycatchers - 6 E.Wood Pewees, 1 Acadian, 1 Phoebe
Swallows - only a few Barn
Vireos - 1 Yellow-throated (singing), 8 Red-eyed
Thrushes& Mimids - 2-3 Swainson's, 10+ Catbirds, 1 Mockingbird
Warblers - 9 species: Tennessee (3+), Magnolia, Cape May, Blackburnian (2), Blackpoll (4), Black&White, Redstart (8+), Com.Yellowthroat, Ovenbirds (2), unidentified warblers (8-10)
Grosbeaks & Buntings - Rose-br.Grosbeaks (3), Indigo Buntings (4)
Icterids - Bobolink (1 flyover), Baltimore Oriole (2)
