I hit a variety of migrant traps across south Columbus this rainy morning, hoping that the weather had grounded some migrants, but finding only sporadic small fallouts. The main targets were the Confluence area of 3-Creeks and the riparian woods of Scioto Grove. While both had some temperate migrants, neither had a sizeable number of them. Notables included: Blue-winged Teals - small numbers were at Cruiser Pond and Scioto Grove Common Loon - 1 was flying up the Scioto River at Scioto Grove, an unusual location Diving Ducks - despite checking most of the ponds & quarries along this route, the only diving ducks were some 15 Lesser Scaup in the Parsons Rd Quarry. Coots - small flocks were at several areas Sapsuckers - not a single one, despite being in decent habitat all morning N.Flickers - good #s at most spots; Scioto Grove had the high with 8 Blue-headed Vireo - 1 was singing at 3-Creeks Gnatcatchers - fair #s at every stop; 3-Creeks had 5 Kinglets - no big numbers, but both species were present at most sites Hermit Thrush - single birds at 3-Creeks and Scioto Grove Brown Thrashers - good numbers, with 1-2 birds at nearly every stop Warblers - Yellow-rumps & Yellow-throated in many spots; 3-Creeks also had a singing Ovenbird Sparrows - Field Sparrows were in good #s at most spots; Scioto Grove had the high with 16+. Most spots also had Chipping and Juncos, and Scioto Grove also had a Swamp Sparrow ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
