Early migration was decidedly slow at this reservoir between Columbus and Delaware.  I stopped at 2 spots in the south (the dam and New Galena) and 2 in the middle (Cheshire and New Berlin accesses), but had few early migrants to show for it.  The list, such as it was, included

Caspian Tern - 1 off the Cheshire causeway
shorebirds - killdeer at several spots, plus a Spotted Sandpiper at the dam
flycatchers - a few Pewees, and only 1 E.Kingbird (at New Galena, of course)
vireos - Red-eyed at several stops, and a single Warbling at New Galena
swallows - small #s of Barn Swallows were winging south at all stops.  The only other swallows were a few Purple Martins and 2 Cliffs at Berlin Station
warblers - not a single one, even at New Galena
orioles - Baltimores flying over, headed south, at many stops.  New Galena had 3+ in the hour I was there.
