Birders,

Some of you may be interested in the Lakewood, OH CBC (west side of Cleveland) which took place on Sunday, December 30, 2012. Due to the FANTASTIC folks out in the field, watching feeders, owling, being persistent AND being compassionate in feeding a couple of species that normally should not be here in NE Ohio, the group managed to locate seventy-eight (78) species that day and 2 during count week (cw).  While this may not be the finalized list (additional reports may come in) it is a GREAT list for our count circle and wanted to share it. Thank you everyone.
