Julie West and I birded the Beachwood park in the median of Shaker
Boulevard (West of Richmond Road) for a couple of hours at midday. We
saw quite a few nice new arrivals, including a number of Yellow-Rumped
Warblers, an Eastern Towhee, a couple of Field Sparrows, both Kinglet
species, and a Hermit Thrush. I'd say that this was the day of the Fox
Sparrow - we saw 8 or so, and they were singing. Complete list follows.
