Greetings- around 2 pm this afternoon while guiding a Cleveland Metroparks IGO birding tour, part of our group saw FIVE Black Vultures fly parallel to Wolf Road, just south of Lake Erie Nature and Science Center in Cuyahoga County. The Blacks were with 16 Turkey Vultures and steady lifted and headed due east. Single Black Vultures sometimes stray to the northern half of the state during migration (such as Andy Avrams sighting of a single bird in Lake County last week) but five is awesome. 

Wildwood State Park to the east held no less then 25 Fox Sparrows, at least a dozen Golden-crowned Kinglets, a Brown Thrasher, Winter Wren, and a flyover Sandhill Crane was notable. 

Best of birding-

JB
