Well, actually, it should read 'now you see us, now you don't'.  In the morning, before the rain, we visited the ravine trails at Slate Run MetroPark (south of Columbus) and had lots of migrants, including 15 species of warbler and all 5 migrant thrushes.  Later tin the afternoon, I stopped at 3-Creeks, while it was lightly raining, and had great difficulty scaring up migrants (only 8 warbler species and 2 thrushes and far fewer individuals, for comparison).  My guess is that the fallout was equally rich at 3-Creeks, but the weather and lateness of the day kept the migrants inactive and harder to locate. 

At Slate Run, the list from an hour & a half included:

flycatchers - E.Phoebe, Great Crested

vireos - Yellow-thr., Red-eyed (8-10)

thrushes - Wood (10+), Swainsons (6), Gray-cheeked (2), Hermit, Veery

sparrows - Towhees, Chipping, Field, Songs, White-throats

icterids - redwings, cowbirds, Baltimore Oriole, Orchard Oriole

tanagers - Scarlet (3-4)

Grosbeaks,Buntings - Rose-br.grosbeaks (4), Indigo Bunting (2)

warblers - LaWaterthrush, Ovenbirds, Nashvilles, Tennessees, Magnolias, Black&Whites, Blackburnians, Black-thr.Blues (4-5), Black-thr.Greens, Yellow-rumped, N.Parula, AmRedstart, Kentucky, CommonYellowthroat, Hooded
