I worked the area of the Alum Creek greenbelt in east Columbus from Innis Park south to Mock Park, and had a fairly good fallout of Neotropical migrants.

Also had Parula (3), Nashville(4), Tennessee, Yellow (4), Blue-winged, Yellow-throated (5), Blackburnian, Bl.thr.Green (5), Palm (4), Prohtonotary, N.Waterthrush, ComYellowthroat Orioles - several male Baltimores (4), along with a territorial Orchard Sparrows - small flocks of White-throated, along with the resident Song, Field, & Chipping Others - Scarlet Tanagers (2), Indigo Bunting (1-2) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
