I stopped by several parks in the old part of Dublin, a large suburb NW of Columbus, including the Sawmill wetlands, Kiwanis Riverfornt Park, Scioto Park, and Kozcuiscko Preserve. All of these parks are within a mile of each other, near the Scioto River, and all had decent migrant activity. Included among the notables were
Pileated Woodpecker - 1 was drumming in Koz Preserve
Great Crested Flycatchers - every park had at least 1
E.Kingbirds - a pair was calling along the Scioto River at Scioto Park
Swallows - plenty of Tree, Rough-winged, and Barn Swallows along the river
Vireos - Warbling were along the river, while Red-eyed were at Koz and Sawmill, and a White-eyed was calling at Koz
Thrushes - a Wood was singing at Sawmill, while Swainson's were at Koz and Scioto
Mimids - lots of Catbirds at every stop, plus a Thrasher at Koz Preserve
Warblers - 16 species: Parula, Prothonotary (Kiwanis), Nashville, Tennessee, Magnolia, Chesnut-sided, Blackburnian, Cape May, Yellow-throated, Yellow-rumped, Palm, Bay-br. (Sawmill),Redstart, Ovenbird, NWaterthrush (Kiwanis), Canada (Kiwanis)
Other migrants - Scarlet Tanagers (all stops), Indigo Buntings, Rose-br.Grosbeak, Baltimore Orioles (all along river)
