Mostly residents were at this MetroPark this morning (and yesterday midday). I stopped at the Terrace Trail, Cedar Ridge, and the Nature Center area today, and visited Dyer's Mill Trail yesterday. Plenty of residents, but only a few obvious migrants, so migration appears to be petering out here. Notables included:
Yellow-billed Cuckoos - heard them at Dyer's Mill and Terrace Trail Flycatchers - many resident Pewees and Acadians, along with a few Great Crested. Vireos - lots of Red-eyed at every stop with forest, Yellow-throated in several places, White-eyed at the Hawthorn Trail at Cedar Ridge Swallows - mostly the expected: Tree Swallows around nest boxes, Cliff Swallows at the Nature Center, Rough-wings around the Confluence railroad pylons, Barns everywhere Thrushes - Wood Thrushes in most forested areas, but could not hear a Swainson's Mimids - Catbirds everywhere; Thrasher singing at Indian Ridge prairie Warblers - plenty of Parulas and Yellow-throated along Big Darby Creek. The only likely migrants were singing Redstarts along the Terrace Trail and at Cedar Ridge and a Wilson's at Cedar Ridge Sparrows - nothing unusual Tanagers - Scarlets were singing along the Terrace Trail and at the Riffle Trail near the Nature Center, while a Summer was singing at the south end of the Hawthorn Trail at Cedar Ridge. Cardinalids - a Rose-br.Grosbeak was singing along the west part of the Terrace Trail Yellow-br.Chat - 1 was singing in the overgrown meadow along the south limb of the Terrace Trail
