Among several other places, I stopped at Heritage MetroPark in west Hilliard late this morning and had 1 singing Bell's Vireo in the dense shrubbery along the bikepath.  It was about 200 yds west from the parking lot, about where the bridle trail joins the main path.  The bird called sporadically, so I didn't try to see it, but I was there late in the morning (11:45).  It's quite likely that the bird will be vocalizing more and be more observable in the early morning.  Other birds in the area were about what you'd expect for overgrown field edges - Indigo Buntings, Field Sparrows, Common Yellowthroats - , but there was also a singing Warbling Vireo in the cottonwoods east of the parking area.
