I stopped at these two Reynoldsburg-area parks this morning, the first to look for landbird migrants, the latter mostly for shorebirds. Neither had a major fallout, but there was a steady stream of migrants to ogle. Blacklick Woods had a modest fallout of landbirds, including: Nighthawks - at least 8 were flying over the Woods in the morning, and I had another flock of 20+ over the Columbus WaterPlant (NE Columbus) late in the afternoon. This must have been a big movement day. Flycatchers - lots of Pewees, with 8 at Blacklick (in little over an hour), along with another 7 at Chatterton. Also plenty of Empidonax, mostly Acadian (7) but some Least(3) Vireos - only Red-eyed, but plenty of them at both sites Thrushes - no big push yet, but 2 defensive Wood Thrushes were still lurking along the Beech-Maple Trail in Blacklick, a breeding location. Warblers - a fair number early at Blacklick, but fewer as the morning wore on (as often happens with these night migrants). The list included CapeMay, Blackburnian (6th morning in a row, all in different Columbus locations), Magnolia (5), Black&White (4), Ovenbird (2), Hooded, Redstart, Canada Chatterton had far fewer landbird migrants (it was later in the morning), but had a nice cluster of shorebirds in the wetlands, including Kildeer - 10 G.Yellowlegs - 2 L.Yellowlegs - 8 Spotted Spr - 1 Pectoral Spr - 1 Stilt Spr - 4 ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
