I made a quick hike around Blacklick Woods this morning, spending around 2hours on the forest trails west of the Nature Center.  Migrants were present, but not easily seen; I only ran into around 3 small flocks of mixed migrants.  I also stopped at nearby Reynoldsburg Civic Park, but had hardly any migrants there.  Highlights included:

Green Heron - 1 flew south over the park early.  This is their prime migration period now, in early September.
Hummingbirds - several on trails and around Nature Center, all females or juveniles
Woodpeckers - all the expected ones, including Pileated, but no Red-headed
Flycatchers - many Pewees (8+), but also had single Phoebe, Great Crested, and Acadian
Vireos - I saw none, but Red-eyed were reported by others; not a good day to find them here
Wrens,Gnatcatcher - 2-3 House Wrens were expected, while just 1 Blue-grayGnatcatcher showed that they were mostly gone.
Thrushes - many Robins, as well as my FOS Swainson's Thrush
Mimids - nothing but Catbirds
Warblers - Magnolias most widepsread (4), but also had Nashville, Tennessee, Chesnut-sided, Black-thr.Green, Black&White, and AmericanRedstart, as well as a handful of fly-bys that couldn't be IDed.
Icterids - nothing other than a few Redwings and Grackles
