Migration appears to be winding down quickly here in central Ohio, if the birds at these 2 Westerville hotspots were any indication. There were lots of singing residents so that the morning was still interesting. But the migrants were few, and about what you might expect for late ones. Notable birds included:
Cuckoo - a single Yellow-bill was along the Spring Creek trail at SharonWoods
Flycatchers - lots of Pewees and a few Great Crested were at both parks.
Hoover Nature Trail had 6 Acadians, while Sharon Woods had 4 Willows and 1 Yellow-bellied
Vireos - multiple Red-eyed & Warbling were at both spots
Thrushes - resident Wood Thrushes were singing at both sites, while the only Swainsons was a single bird along the Thomas Trail at Sharon Woods
Warblers - the dam spillway had a few warblers, including Parula, Yellow, Yellow-throated, Chesnut-sided, Magnolia, Redstart, & Wilson's. The Hoover Nature Trail pitched ina Black-thr.Green, while Sharon Woods had 10 Common Yellowthroats, 4 Yellows, a Wilsons, and a Chat
Tanagers - the only one was a singing Scarlet along the Hoover Nature Trail
Orioles - 2-3 Baltimores were at both spots, while Sharon Woods had a pair of Orchards in the north meadow area
