This small forest preserve on the east edge of Gahanna had a nice Olive-sided Flycatcher fly-catching from a snag. They're fast, and chase large insects; watched him grab a dragonfly. The Red-headed Woodpeckers resident here were putting on a good show, with 5-6 noisily interacting up on the dead snags that seem epidemic in this park. Sure hope we're not missing some incipient insect infestation.
