I spent a few hours checking parks along Big Walnut Creek in Gahanna, visiting McCorkle Park & Old Ridenour Road this morning and Woodside Green & Academy Parks this afternoon.  The overcast weather served to ground a fair flight of migrants, and some groups, like warblers and orioles, were well-represented while others (thrushes,tanagers,sparrows) were scarce.  Notables included:

Ruby-thr.Hummingbird
Crested Flycatchers
Blue-headed Vireos
Warbling Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Ruby-cr.Kinglets - at least 4
Gnatcatchers - still in double-digits
Veery
Wood Thrush
Gray Catbirds - lots
Cedar Waxwings - one small flock of 5

Warblers - 19 species, with Yellow-rumped the most common, followed by Yellow, Parula, Black-thr.Green, and Nashville.  Also had Tennessee, Blue-winged, Prothonotary, Chesnut-sided, Blackburnian, Yellow-throated, Palms, Black&Whites, AmerRedstart, Bay-breasted (an early male at Woodside Green), Ovenbird, Com.Yellowthroat, both species of Waterthrush.

Indigo Buntings
Rose-br.Grosbeak
White-throated Sparrows - several small flocks
White-crowned Sparrows - 2 in Academy Park
Baltimore Orioles - 7-8 males, all along creek
