David Slager and I spent the morning looking for any migrants that came in with the recent front, starting at the capitol building then heading to Three Creeks after a brief stop at Goodale Park. We stopped at "Cruiser Park" on our way back (map: http://goo.gl/qbYUp ) looking for the Ross's Goose (not found) and after I dropped Dave off at his place, I made a "quick" stop by the OSU wetlands on my way home.
