I checked on two good areas for migrants in this north Columbus suburb:  Antrum Lake and Rush Creek Village.  The former is a riparian area along the Olentangy River, while the latter is a leafy development sited in a ravine complex east of the river.  Both had decent migrants this morning, though numbers were down from yesterday.  Notables in 2 hours included:

Flycatchers - lots of Great Crested (5 at Antrum, 3 at RCV), but also had Pewees, Leasts, Acadian, and Phoebe
Swallows - the perennial trio of Tree, Rough-winged, and Barn at both spots
Vireos - good movement of Warbling (10 at Antrum) and Blue-headed (2 at Antrum, 3 at RCV).  Also had a few singing Red-eyed (both sites) and 1 Yellow-throated (RCV)

Wrens,Gnatcatchers - still fair #s of House Wrens and Gnatcatchers, with 4-5 at each location
Thrushes - hardly any, with 1 Wood at Antrum
Mimids - nothing but Catbirds, but plenty of them
Warblers - good diversity, but low #s except for Yellow-rumped (30 at Antrum, 10 at RCV).  Others included Parula, Yellow, Nashville (4), Tennessee, Magnolia, Chesnut-sided (6+), Yellow-throated, Black-thr.Green, Blackburnian, Palm, Black&White, Amer.Redstart (5), Canada (1 at RCV), Hooded (1 at RCV)

Tanagers,Grosbeaks - 1-2 Scarlet Tanagers at each spot; similar #s of Rose-br.Grosbeaks
Sparrows - small flocks of White-throateds still lurking in shrubby ravines at RCV
Icterids - fair #s of Baltimore Orioles, with 5 at Antrum and 2 more at RCV
Finches - 4-5 Pine Siskins continue hanging around the western edge of RCV; they can be reliably found around the intersection of Riverglen Dr. and Granby St.
