Hi Paul et al,

I'm sitting in the Columbus airport headed back west, but on the way here
had a very nice stop at Buck Creek State Park near Springfield (Clark
County).

Loads of Palm (12+) and Myrtle Warblers (15+), Black-throated Green (6+),
Prothonotary, Blue-winged, Yellow, Prairie, and a female Black-throated
Blue Warbler, which was flagged by ebird (early, I assume; I got some pix).
White-eyed Vireo, and a Merlin too. This was all along the Lakeside Trail
at the campground, along the north side. Light drizzle and gray skies, but
lots of birds. I wish I'd had more time to explore the area, and I'd write
more but my plane is boarding!
