I spent parts of the last 2 mornings at 2 of the better migrant traps in south Columbus - Berliner Park and 3-Creeks - and was startled by the low #s of migrants. The nice day on Thursday apparently allowed the earlier wave to exit, while the crappy weather today hasn't allowed much replenishment. Notables included:
Flycatchers - lots of resident Acadian, Pewees, and Great Crested at both locations, but no late Empids yet
Vireos - also plenty of resident Warbling & Red-eyed at both locations, but no Philadelphias (which are often 3rd wave birds here)
Thrushes - plenty of Swainson's at both locations, about the only migrant in good numbers, but no Gray-cheeks
Warblers - slim pickings, with a few Redstarts at each spot, plus a Canada in Berliner along the bikepath.
Others - plenty of Indigo Buntings, but it's hard to distinguish migrants from residents. Only 1 Scarlet tanager (at Berliner), and no grosbeaks.
