I stopped by Blacklick Woods intending to spend only a little time there, but, well, we all know how that goes on a fallout morning. I didn't find any crews working on the trails. What I did find was a fairly substantial fallout of migrants. I started along the East loop of the Multi-purpose Trail, then worked my way back to the main part of the woods (the Beech and Maple Loops). Migrant flocks were thick along the edge of the woods, less so inside of them. Notables in 3 hours included: Flycatchers - only Wood Pewees, but had 3-4 Swallows,Swifts - no swallows, but 10-12 Swifts were foraging over the main woods Jays - steady movement, with 40-50 birds over the course of the morning Vireos - had single Red-eyed and Blue-headed along the Maple Loop Wrens - had my FOS Winter Wren, along with several House Wrens and many Carolinas Kinglet - a single Ruby-crowned was hanging around the Nature Center shrubs Thrushes - good morning, with 30+ Swainson's, 5 Gray-cheeked, 3 Wood, and a single Veery Mimids - along with many Catbirds, there were 3 Brown Thrashers along the Multi-purpose Trail Waxwings - plenty, with small flocks at many locations Warblers - good numbers, average diversity. Magnolias (15), Black-thr,Greens (10), and Redstarts (10) were easily the most common, but also had N.Parula, Nashvilles, Tennessees, Yellow-throated, Black-thr.Blue (3 males), Blackburnians, Blackpolls (6), Bay-breasteds (6), Ovenbirds, Black&White, Hooded (along Buttonbush Trail), and CommonYellowthroats OtherMigrants - had 1 Indigo Bunting and 2-3 Rose-br.Grosbeaks Icterids - no orioles, but a big flock of CommonGrackles (1200) were roosting at the east end of the park ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
