I thought January listers might be interested in the American Pipit I saw today at Berliner Park in Columbus. It was foraging along the west bank of the Scioto River 100m or so south of the Greenlawn Ave bridge. It was present in the same spot for about 3 hours so it may hang around. The full eBird report is below.
