I hit portions of this south Columbus MetroPark before and after the rain this morning, starting at the Confluence and Borrow Pits areas, and finishing up by Watkins Road and Oxbow.  Lots of residents on territory or feeding juveniles.  The most interesting included:

Willow Flycatchers - 2-3 in overgrown areas around the Borrow Pit and north of Watkins Road
Acadian Flycatchers - widespread, in almost any forest patch
Great Crested Flycatchers - scarce, wtih only singles at Turtle Pond (Confluence) and the Borrow Pits
E.Kingbirds - several calling birds along the Multi-use Path north of Watkins Rd
White-eyed Vireos - 2 were calling in pocket meadows along the Confluence Trail south of the Borrow Pits area.
Yellow-thr.Vireos - 2 singing at Confluence, another in the forest next to the Borrow Pits
Warbling Vireos - widespread, especially near large cottonwood stands: 4+ at Borrow Pit, 3 at the Walkins Rd. bridge
House Wrens - abundant, more so than usual; along almost every forest edge and even in thick understory areas
Wood Thrushes - common in many areas, especially in brushy growth beneath dead ash trees
Cedar Waxwings - lots of pairs attending nests or fledglings
Yellow Warblers - in most of the willow clumps along Alum Creek
Parula Warblers - singing birds at each of the 4 stops; more common than in prior years
Yellow-thr.Warblers - 2 singing at Confluence, singles at all other spots
Yellow-br.Chat - 1 calling in the overgrown field south of the Oxbow forest patch
Scarlet tanager - 1 was singing in the forest patch adjacent ot the Borrow Pit area.
Rose-br.Grosbeaks - a pair was carrying nest material at the canoe launch off Watkins Rd; another was singing at Oxbow
E.Meadowlark - 1 was calling in the open field south of Watkins Rd
Baltimore Orioles - scarce, wtih singles at the Confluence, Borrow Pits, and Watkins Rd canoe launch
Orchard Oriole - 1 was singing in the overgrown field north of Watkins Rd
