I had a productive morning birding this new Columbus-area metropark today. From 8:00 - 10:30 I hiked about 2.5 miles of trails. Highlights include: 15 Warbler species: - Blackburnian - Magnolia - Black-and White - Black-throated Blue - Chestnut-sided - Nashville - American Redstart - Common Yellowthroat - Bay-breasted - Hooded (2 different individuals) - Black-throated Green - MOURNING (I almost got a great close-up photo when it very briefly popped up to my spishing. Oh well.) - Tennessee - Palm I also had a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO, which I did get photos of (though they are little better than of diagnostic use). Swainson's thrushes are still fairly common, and I had a Veery at one point. Lincoln's Sparrow were numerous. A trickle of temperate migrants have started mixing in, with several each of - Winter Wren - Dark-eyed Junco - Swamp Sparrow - White-throated Sparrow I also watched a Cooper's Hawk chase a Sharp-shinned Hawk that had just chased some Blue Jays.
