I made a quick foray to several areas along these 2 creeks west of Columbus looking for migrant fallout. I stopped at several areas in Prairie Oaks MetroPark along Big Darby -- Beaver Pond, Darby Bend Lakes, Sycamore Plains -- then two areas along the more isolated Little Darby Creek -- West Jefferson Community Park and the Little Darby Preserve. No place had a major fallout, but every spot had some migrants. Included in the list were: Shorebirds - aside from the expected flock of Killdeer, Darby Bend lakes also had a Wilson's Snipe and a Pectoral Sandpiper. Flycatchers - nothing unusual, with Pewees most widespread, but alos had Phoebe, Willow, and Acadian Vireos - 2 White-eyed at Sycamore Plains, along with a Yellow-throated, while Darby Bend Lakes still had a singing Warbling (warbling Warbling?) Swallows - surprisingly few, with a small cluster of 10 Rough-wings at Darby Bend lakes the high Thrushes - Swainson's were probably the most common migrant, being present at every stop; Darby Bend Lakes had 7-8 Mimids - Brown Thrashers were at every stop in Prarie aks, while a Mockingbird was along the entrance road to Sycamore Plains Warblers - no big numbers, but OK diversity. Little Darby Preserve had the most, with 8 species; Beaver Lake followed with 5. List included Tennessee, Nashville, Magnolias, AmRedstart, Black&White, Blackburnian, Blackpolls, Bay-br., Black-thr.Blue, Black-thr.Green ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
