I spent the morning hiking several areas along Darby Creek southwest of Columbus looking for early arrivals.  Stops at Indian Ridge, Cedar Ridge, and the Nature Center produced a healthy list with a few new arrivals, including:

Rough-winged Swallows - 6 were jousting for nest crevices at the Darby railroad bridge
House Wren - 1 singing at Indian Ridge
Gnatcatchers - loads, with 25-30 in the 3 hours I was out
Ruby-cr.Kinglets - 6-7, mostly at Indian Ridge & Cedar Ridge
Wood Thrush - 1 singing at Indian Ridge early
Hermit Thrush - 6 for the morning, in different areas
Brown Thrasher - 3 singing in different fields (2 at Indian Ridge, 1 at Cedar Ridge)
Parula Warblers - 2 singing at Indian Ridge, another 1 at Cedar Ridge
Yellow-thr.Warblers - 6 total over all 3 sites, all singing in sycamores
E.Towhees - many back, with 14 over all 3 sites
Field Sparrows - many back, with singing around most fields; the Nature Center fields had 8-10
Swamp Sparrow - 1 at a small creek along Terrace Trail at Indian Ridge
White-throated Sparrows - small flocks in many locations
E.Meadowlarks - 2 were singing in the cropped grass of the bison enclosure, recreating an ancient connection.
