I spent a few hours hitting spots along the Scioto River corridor in Dublin, ranging from the O'Shaughnessy Dam and Twin Lakes on the north, down through Kiwanis Park on the south.  Nothing startlingly rare, but lots of temperate migrants all along the corridor, including

Vultures - 40+ Turkey Vultures were at Frink Park by the dam, while a single Black Vulture was with a few TVs at Twin Lakes.
Raptors - 3-4 Red-tails, 2 Cooper's, and 1 Sharpie made for a fairly lively day along the Scioto
Shorebirds - nothing other than Kildeer, even though there's a nice mud fringe at Twin Lakes
Flycatchers,Swallows - nothing. zip. nada.
Vireos - a single Blue-headed was at Kozscuiscko Park on Hard Rd.
BrownCreepers - singles were at Koscuiscko Park, TwinLakes, and Frink Park.
WinterWrens - singles were at Kozscuiscko Park, Twin Lakes, and Kiwanis
Kinglets - Ruby-crowns were common, but also had Golden-crowns in several areas (TwinLakes, Kiwanis)
Bluebirds - single flyovers were at Kiwanis, Twin Lakes, and Amberleigh
Thrushes - nothing but Robins, but they were common, with flocks at many locations
CedarWaxwings - small flocks in many locations
Warblers - only Yellow-rumped, but they were numerous & widespread
Sparrows - flocks of White-throated were at nearly every stop, along with small #s of Songs. Little else.
Blackbirds - a few Redwings and Grackles, but nothing like the flock in other areas of the city
Finches - nothing but the expected House Finches and Goldfinches
