I did go to Villa Angela & Wildwood State Parks on the east side of Cleveland on Lake Erie late today.  These parks are on Lakeshore Blvd near E. 174th St.  I was there from 5:20pm to after 7:30pm.  The Sapsuckers, Fox Sparrows, Songs Sparrows and Phoebes were numerous today as there were more Hermit Thrush. Brown Thrasher was a FOS for me.  Here is a summary of some of what I did see:

American Black Ducks 2 creek WW
Hooded Mergansers - pair in marina
Red-breasted Mergansers ~ 8 in marina
Pied-billed Grebe 1 in Euclid Creek down from bridge
Double-crested Cormorants - 25 group flying west 7:30
Great Blue Heron 2 flying in around island Wildwood side
