This morning at Highbanks Metro Park in Columbus, I was able to observe first of season migrants including a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Yellow-rumped Warblers (30) and Golden-crowned Kinglets (18). It was also a good morning for thrushes with large flocks of Robins, Eastern Bluebirds, Swainson Thrush (2) and Hermit Thrush (12). There was also a large number of Field Sparrows, Northern Flickers and Blue Jays. The meadows and forest edges along the pet trail provided the best birding. Other notables included: Chimney Swift (8) Eastern Phoebe (3) Nashville Warbler (1) Gray Catbird (3) Swamp Sparrow (2) White-throated Sparrow (14) Ruby-crowned Kinglet (2) Ken Davis Westerville, OH Directions to Highbanks are on the OOS web site and at _www.metroparks.net_ (http://www.metroparks.net) . ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
