At Ladu Reservoir in Geauga County, at 2:00pm.

Feeding along the edge of the far shore were three sand hill cranes.
Resting on the far shore about 30 Tundra Swans. Disturbed
by a kayak right before I left at 3:15 the swans flew off but the
cranes simply relocated to the opposite shore.

I saw two buffleheads swimming along with the flock of mallards, about
30.  If there
were other duck species there I wasn't able to separate them

As always, lots of canada geese and about 20 ring billed gulls.

10 Killdeer, 1 Great Blue Heron.
A few e. bluebirds along the road.

On the way I passed a n. mockingbird on Franklin Rd. near Chagrin
Falls, across from Evergreen Cemetery.  A fairly reliable location for
a mockingbird.

At home, Chagrin River Road in Geauga Co. I saw an adult Bald Eagle
first thing this morning, soaring over the fields.

Also a brown creeper poking around in the bark of a scotch pine.
