I hit several Columbus migrant traps this morning, including Berliner Park, the Greenlawn Cemetery, WillowBranch Park, Jeffrey Park, and Wolfe Park.  None of them had any major accumulation of migrants,--in fact migrants were scarce -- but most had plenty of singing residents.  Cottonwood cotton was just starting to fall this morning, a good sign of the turn into summer-like conditions.  Among the notable birds were:

Yellow-cr.Night Heron - at least 1 adult persists at the Preston Rd site, but who knows for how long.

Yellow-bellied Flycatchers - at least 2 were calling along the bikepath at Berliner early in the morning

Other Empirds - calling Acadians and a Willow were at Berliner

E.Kingbirds - calling birds were at Willow Branch, Greenlawn, and Wolfe Parks

Vireos - plenty of Red-eyed at most spots, and Warbling were numerous at Berliner

Thrushes - a few Swainson's remained at Berliner and the Cemetery

Warblers - a Prothonotary was singing in the riparian forest along the bikepath at Berliner.  The cemtery had nothing, but little Willow Branch Park a mile south had singing Magnolia & Redstart.  Redstarts were also at Bleriner Jeffrey, and Wolfe.

Mimids - Catbirds at many spots.  A singing Thrasher was at the ravine in Greenlawn Cemetery
