Looks like the overdue alders have arrived. Troy Shively had several in the Shawnee St. Forest yesterday, and the first I've heard about in Franklin Co arrived this morning via two singing males at the OSU Wetlands, fide Dave Slager. This would be a good time to listen for them across the state, seems like.
