It was a slow morning around Scioto Audubon, Berliner Park, and the nearby Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus.  Despite the mild weather, or maybe because of it, there weren't too many late migrants in these locations. Water levels in the Scioto River were moderately low, but heron and waterfowl numbers were still meager.  Landbird numbers were nothing special, either.  Notables included:

Hooded Merganser - only 1 was in the bay off the Scioto boat launch
Raptors - little other than a few Red-tailed Hawks
Brown Creepers - a bright spot, with individuals at all locations, topped by 4 along the Berliner bikepath
Robins - small flocks in many locations, another of the few bright spots
White-throated Sparrows - lots at Scioto Audubon (40+), but few at the other two spots
Pine Siskins - a small flock of 5 birds was working through some white cedars 70 yards west of the Pit at the Greenlawn cemetery
