I stopped at these two neighboring parks in NE Columbus looking for late migrants and unusual residents. Blendon has upland and ravine habitats, while Cherrybottom has a large riparian forest along Big Walnut Creek.  Landbird migration is tailing off here, and I had few obvious migrants today, but there were some interesting residents  The list included:

Hooded Merganser - 2 females with 2 ducklings were at Cherrybottom park, where they've bred before
Green Heron - 1 was around Thoreau Lake at Blendon
Red-shouldered hawk - 1 was calling at Cherrybottom, which might explain their scarcity around Blendon
Wild Turkeys - 12 were strolling around the Blendon Nature Center Trails as if they owned them,...which they might.
Yellow-billed Cuckoo - usually one of the last migrants, 1 was calling at Cherrybottom
Flycatchers - nothing but residents, but lots of Wood Pewees & Acadians, especially at Blendon
Vireos - lots of Red-eyed, which is expected.  A singing Yellow-throated at Cherrybottom was not expected, however.
Thrushes - single Swainson's were still lurking at both Cherrybottom and Blendon Woods Lake Trail
Warblers - A singing Nashville around the Blendon Nature Center was certainly a late migrant, while singing Ovenbird and Hooded Warblers there were residents.  Cherrybottom had 2 singing Yellow-throated Warblers, which were expected.
Tanagers - at least 2 Summer Tanagers were at Blendon, 1 around the Nature Center , the other on the Lake Trail
Orioles - singing Baltimores were at both Cherrybottom and around Thoreau Lake at Blendon.
