Checked these 2 areas near downtown Columbus yesterday morning, and found lots of active residents but no obvious migrants. Berliner had lots of diversity, while the cemetery was a bit slow. I also stopped at the Hart Rd Quarry, but it held little. Notables in 2 hours included: Acadian Flycatchers - 3-4 at Berliner, calling in the lush riparian forest where they often breed. Willow Flycatcher - 1 at Hart Rd, 1 at Greenlawn E.Phoebe - at their usual spots around the Pit and the Ravine bridge in Greenlawn Cemetery Gr.Crested Flycatchers - 4 at Berliner, 2 at Greenlawn; high #s for both spots. Rough-winged Swallows - 10+ at Berliner, preying on a large midge hatch over the river. BANK SWALLOW - 10+ at Berliner, 2 at Hart Rd. They must be nesting in one of the quarries near downtown. White-eyed Vireo - 1 calling along the bikepath at Berliner Warbling Vireos - 4 at Berliner, 1 at Hart Rd Blue Jay - lots snaking around looking for nests, but a pair were feeding a juvenile at the ravine in the Cemetery Wood Thrush - 3 singing along the bikepath at Berliner Gray Catbird - one of the most common birds, with 15+ at Berliner, another 5 at Hart Rd, and 4 at Greenlawn Cedar Waxwings - pairs in many locations. The mulberry crop this year seems very strong here. Yellow Warblers - 2 singing at both Berliner and Hart Rd Prothonotary Warblers - 2 singing along the bikepath riparian woods at Berliner Yellow-thr.Warbler - 2 singing along the Berliner bikepath, an unusual location for them Scarlet Tanager - 1 singing in the riparian forest along the Bleriner bikepath, an unusual location for them Baltimore Oriole - 4 along the Berliner bikepath; another at the Cemetery Orchard Oriole - 1 along the Berliner bikepath at the south end where it borders the huge field ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
