I visited this Columbus migrant trap early this morning, before the rain swept into the area, and found lots of temperate migrants with a few early neotropicals.  The honeysuckles are fully leafed out, but the riparian trees are still leafless.  Notables in a half hour included:

Flycatchers - only 1 E.Phoebe
Swallows - small #s of Rough-wings and Trees foraging over the Scioto River
Vireos - 5 Warbling, 2 Blue-headed, and 1 White-eyed, all singing
Wrens - lots of House Wrens (12+), along with 4-5 Carolinas
Kinglets,Gnatcatchers - only a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets (2), but lots of gnatcatchers (14+)
Thrushes - probably an undercount with the leafed-out understory, but had 2 Wood, 2 Swainsons, and 1 Hermit
Mimids - only 1 Catbird
Warblers - 7-8 Yellow-rumps plus 2 Yellows, 1 Prothonotary, 1 Yellow-throated, 1 Nashville, 1 N.Waterthrush, 1 Hooded
Sparrows - loads of White-throated, with 60 in the half hour.  Also had a few Chippings and Towhees.
Icterids - my FOS Baltimore Oriole, along with the expected Redwings, Grackles, and Cowbirds
