A late afternoon walk around the Shaker Lakes (east side of Cleveland
between Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights) proved that spring has
indeed arrived! Migrants included three or four singing Fox Sparrows, an
Eastern Towhee, a Brown Creeper, Blue-winged Teal, Hooded Merganser, and
Golden-crowned Kinglet. Ebird list follows.
