Yesterday my husband and I were at Lake Erie Bluffs in Lake County. We saw a quite small hawk at the top of a dead tree, and it flew away after about five minutes of us watching from a distance. We had been heading west on the trail and the tree the bird was in was on the north or to our right and not far from the intersection that leads to the camping area/beach access trail. Behind the first first bench on the beach access trail above us in a tall tree we saw a flash of wings and two small hawklike birds flying around a large nest. Their call was similar to that of a sharp shinned hawk or maybe even a kestrel. Those aren't supposed to be nesting here from what I have read, so does anyone know what we could have seen? The sound they made was not the sound of a Cooper's hawk. One of the birds flew to the dead tree where we had seen the first bird. There may have been three birds, all told.
