Held at home for several things, I managed to get out to the Alum Creek bikepath yesterday morning (along with nearby Ridgewood & Minerva Parks) and Rocky Fork Creek (on the east edge of Gahanna) this morning. Both mornings had many migrants, including nice numbers of flycatchers, thrushes, and warblers. Notables included: Black-billed Cuckoo - an early individual was foraging in Tanager Woods Park along Alum Creek yesterday. Crested & Least Flycatchers - numerous individuals were calling along Alum Creek yesterday and along Rocky Fork Creek today; they seem to have been held back by the poor weather in late April and are now coming through en masse. Vireos - lots of Red-eyed, with fewer numbers of Yellow-throated, Warbling, & Blue-headed. Thrushes - Wood Thrushes common along Rocky Fork this morning, which has deeper forests than Alum Creek. Also had Veery & Swainsons both mornings. Warblers - 16 sp yesterday, with the best being a PRAIRIE singing around the edge of Ridgewood Park and the first few Cape Mays in Minerva Park. 13 sp. this morning, with the interesting ones being Magnolia & Black-thr.Blue, both singing in deep forest. On both mornings, Yellow-rumps were the most common, with Nashvilles a close second. Buntings, Grosbeaks - many Indigo Buntings yesterday (with more open edge habitat), fewer today. The pattern was reversed for Rose-br.Grosbeaks. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
