We finally seem to be getting a big push of temperate migrants in central Ohio. I stopped at several spots around Battelle-Darby (Kuhlwein wetland, Trail of Ancients, Cedar Ridge) and a few nearby areas (Clover Wetlands, Prairie Lincoln School Woods) and had good numbers of temperate migrants at almost every stop. I also had a decent showing of raptors that I'll detail in another post. The list included Blue Jays - small flocks in many places; i counted 20 fly by the Darby Confluence in 30 minutes Blue-headed Vireo - singles at Prairie Lincoln and Cedar Ridge Winter Wrens - singles at Prairie Lincoln and Trail of Ancients Kinglets - both types at nearly every stop, though never in big #s E.Bluebirds - small flocks at many areas, even flyovers HermitThrush - singles at PrairieLincoln and Cedar Ridge; Trial of Ancients had 2 Robins - steady flocks for much of morning CedarWaxwings - small flocks in many locations AmerPipit - a flyover at Georgesville Yellow-rumps - sizeable flocks at many locations, topped by 40 at Cedar Ridge Palm Warblers - singles were at Prairie Lincoln, Clover Wetlands, and Trail of Ancients OtherWarblers - a Cape May was at Prairie Lincoln, while Trail of Ancients had a Bl.thr.Green and a Com.Yellowthroat SwampSparrows - at many stops, with the best being 10 at Kuhlwein Wetlands Lincoln'c Sparrows - 2 were at Kuhlwein wetlands White-crowned Sparrows - 3 were at Kuhlwein, while 1 was at Clover wetlands White-throated Sparrows - small flocks at many locations, topped by 40 along the Trail of Ancients RedwingBlackbirds - small flocks flying south for much of the morning Pine Siskin - 1 flyover at Trail of Ancients ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
