I've been trying to do a little birding each day on my lunch break, and OSU's Mirror Lake area is the closes migrant trap to my office on campus. Last week turned up a handful of nice migrants (Pine Warbler, Yellow-throated Warbler, Myrtle's YR Warbler, both kinglets, Fox Sparrow, Hermit Thrush, a pair of Brown Thrashers, Winter Wren, Swamp Sparrow, etc.) Yesterday, I was a bit surprised to see a Northern, not Louisiana, Waterthrush during a quick birding walk on my way home from a brief stop by the office. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S13743179 Migrants are moving up in from the south and finding their way to urban (and not-so-urban!) migrant traps, so no matter where you live or work definitely bird those local hotpots frequently! :-) Good birding, Paul Hurtado ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
