I checked several areas near the Scioto River in downtown Columbus this
morning, including Scioto Audubon, Berliner Park, and the Long St. Dam, as
well as nearby Greenlawn cemetery.  Not much in the way of early migrants
other than the blackbirds & sparrows that were here before the cold snap.
Interesting finds included:

Cormorants - at least 30 were flocking in the pool above the Greenlawn dam
Lesser Scaup - a few above the dam were unusual for this location
Osprey - 1 was working over the old nest on the platform at Scioto Audubon
Bald Eagle - 1 was sitting on the nest across the river from Berliner Park
