I was at Wildwood Park on the east side of Cleveland
on Lake Erie the last few days and Sims Park in Euclid
Wed & Thurs only. Wildwood was so incredibly birdy
this afternoon I never made it to Sims Park.
White-throated Sparrows & Kinglets were everywhere.
Most of the "good" birds today were away from the lake
but some were along the west side of the creek north
of the bridge. The field north of the library was
good, also east of the road but west of the creek &
asphalt path running south of the woods following the
north-south plantings. Here are some of my
