I went to Villa Angela and Wildwood State Parks in Cleveland today from 10:50am to 2pm.  I was out-of-town Sat so I don't know what was seen but it was more difficult to find some birds today than Friday.  It was colder.  Some birds previously seen we could not find.  I ran into Mark Anderson after awhile but he left early.  He had his first Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.  We saw our first Eastern Phoebe today as this park always seems to be the last to get the Phoebes being near the lake it seems colder.  Harder to find many Fox Sparrows today.  Only a few highlights that I saw:

Turkey Vultures 4
Coopers Hawk 1
American Coot 1
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 (Mark only Wildwood)
Hairy Woodpecker 1 (Mark only Wildwood)
Eastern Phoebe 1  Villa Angela
Brown Creepers 5 
Winter Wren 1 Villa Angela was singing south of path west of grassy knoll & I found it when I went back to asphalt path to go into woods from behind.
Northern Flicker 1
Golden-crowned Kinglet only 1 Wildwood
Northern Mockingbird 2 (1-field VA & 1 eastside of marina near yacht club-seems to fly across to the beach when you walk down to breakwall

Eastern Towhee 1 male singing in tall tree in VA near recycling bins 

Fox Sparrows 2-3 VA
Dark-eyed Juncos 11-12 seemed more numerous
White-crowned Sparrow 1 still singing Villa Angela
American Goldfinch 12+ more visible

I stopped at Sims Park just before the rain from 2:15 to 2:50pm. Still lots of ice to the east.  

Red-breasted Mergansers - small numbers
Black Scoter 1 female to the east  (had previously been reported last weekend by Jenn B. wasn't diving much just had its head under water skimming the surface
Common Goldeneye ~ 25
Common Loons 3 (first I have seen)
