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.

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
