The cool rainy morning made for a good fallout in the Gahanna greenbelt along Big Walnut Creek (McCorkle park to Woodside Green Park to Academy Park). Although I only had a few hours in the morning, a quick bike trip along the greenbelt built a large list of migrants. Highlights included:
4 Flycatchers: Least, Acadian, Crested, Pewee
3 swallows: Rough-winged, Barn, Tree
3 vireos: Red-eyed (common), Yellow-throated, Warbling
kinglets, gnatcatchers - 2-3 Ruby-cr.Kinglets, many gnatcatchers
3 Thrushes: Wood (common), Swainson's, Veery
3 mimids: Mockingbird, Catbird (common), Brown Thrasher
Cedar Waxwings (the first I've seen since December!)
18 warblers: Yellow, Parula, Nashville, Tennessee, Bl-thr.Blue, Bl-thr.Green, Chesnut-sided, Magnolia, Yellow-throated, Blackburnian, Blackpoll, Bay-breasted, Yellow-rumped (most common), Ovenbird (4-5; they've been very common this Spring), Redstart, Black&White, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow-br.Chat (unusual here)
Grosbeaks, Buntings - Rose-breasted grosbeaks (common), Indigo Buntings (common)
Sparrows - the expected (Chipping, Field, Song, White-throated)
Orioles - only Baltimores
