I stopped at several migrant traps south of downtown Columbus, including Scioto Audubon Park, the Greenlawn Cemetery, Big Run Road, and Grant's Run, but had little to show for it other than typical residents.  The few interesting birds included:

Great Egrets - lots of single flyovers along the Scioto River, probably from the quarry colony upriver.
Ospreys - on nest at Scioto, but also fishing at Grants Run
Bald Eagle - an adult was flying down the Scioto River past Scioto Audubon
Kestrel - one was carrying food at Grants Run (a small bird)
Yellow-billed Cuckoo - one was calling at Grants Run
E.Kingbirds - 2 pairs chasing intruders at Scioto Audubon suggests territories
White-eyed Vireo - 1 was singing along the bikepath at Scioto Audubon
Swainson's Thrushes - the only widespread migrant, with 1-2 at nearly every stop
Parula Warbler - 1 singing at Scioto Audubon was unusual there
Magnolia Warbler - singles were at Big Run Road and Grants Run
AmerRedstart - 1 was at Scioto Audubon, another 2 were at the Cemetery
Baltimore Orioles - widespread, at nearly every stop; Scioto Audubon had 3-4
Orchard orioles - singing birds were at Scioto Audubon and at Big Run Road
