I stopped by this downtown Columbus metropark this morning and was greeting with decent numbers of migrants. A modest late fallout apparently occurred due to the weather last night, and the clear morning made it all the more enjoyable.  Included among the tally were:

Great Egret - 1 was still in the bay above the Greenlawn dam
Green-winged Teal - a small group of 4 were feeding in the same bay
Accipiters - had both Sharp-shinned and Cooper's near the Grange Center
Killdeer - probably 50+ scattered between the river mudflat and the grassy fields
Rough-winged Swallow - 1 was foraging over the wetlands north of the Grange Center
Warblers - lots of Yellow-rumped, but also had 5 Palms, plus a Nashville & a Tennessee
Indigo Bunting - one molting male was just west of the Grange Center
Sparrows - LOADs of Song Sparrows, but also had White-throated, Swamps, and Lincolns
Blackbirds - several early small flocks of Redwings headed south.  Also had Grackles & Cowbirds
Pine Siskin - 1 was a flyover near the Grange Center feeders, so it might be hanging around there.
