I hit these 2 wooded parks east of Columbus looking for migrants, while trying to stay out of the wind and the hail. Despite the blustery weather, both parks had some small mixed migrant flocks. Highlights included: Barred Owls - single adults were hunting in the forests of both parks White-eyed Vireo - 1 was singing along the Multi-use Trail at Blacklick Tree Swallows - a small flock of 10-12 was flying around the meadows south of the Blacklick Nature Center Winter Wrens - good fallout, with 2 at Gahanna Woods and 3 at Blacklick Woods Ruby-cr.Kinglets - 1-2 were at each park Warblers - very similar lists at each park, topped by Black-thr.Greens (3 at GW, 6 at BW), but also including Nashville, Magnolia, Yellow-rumped, Redstart, and Ovenbird Sparrows - no big numbers, but did have Chipping, Song, and White-throats at both parks ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
