I stopped by several areas around the lower portion of Alum Creek Lake this morning, and found temperate migrants as the dominant theme.  I've been away for 2 weeks, and the rest of the neotrops absconded in my absence :-).  Stops at New Galena, the Beach & Visitor's Center, Plumb Rd, and Cheshire accesses found only a bit of foliage change but a lot of bird change, including

Common Loons - 3 were fishing off the Plumb Rd access
Raptors - including a Cooper's at the Beach, a Bald Eagle juvenile flying south over the dam, and a Red-tail at Cheshire.
Woodpeckers - Flickers the dominant migrant, with 8 in 2 hours.  1 Sapsucker was at New Galena.
Red-br.Nuthatch - 1 flew by the boat launch at New Galena, headed south
Jays - #s far down from earlier in the month, with only 32 in 1 hour at New Galena
Kinglets - lots of Golden-crowns (3-5) at all stops
Winter Wrens - at least 2 were in the scrub around the Visitor's Center
Hermit Thrush - single birds were at new Galena and the Visitor's Center areas
E.Bluebirds - early start to migration, with 6 at New Galena and another 9 at the Beach area
Warblers - lots of Yellow-rumps, including 6 flyovers at New Galena.  The only other bird was a Palm at the Beach area
Sparrows - White-throats in small groups at many places, along with the expected Songs, Chipping, and Fields
Blackbirds - small groups of Red-wings and Grackles flying south over New Galena and the Beach
Finches - 2 Purple Finches flew south past New Galena
