Looks like we were all seeing the same thing. The cormorants passed over the
Edgewater neighborhood on Cleveland's west side, in loosely scattered flocks
of approximately 20 to 50 each, at 6:20 - 6:30 p.m. I saw them as I was
walking up W. 102nd just south of Clifton. I wonder where they were all
going, and I wonder if, when they arrived at their destination, the other
birds said, "there goes the neighborhood."

That flock flew over Avon Lake on the west side in Lorain County at
7:00 pm. It was broken into three groups
a mile apart or so.
Their sloppy V formations give them the appearance of a flock of drunks
trying to walk a straight line.
They also seemed to be actually following Walker rd. They turned along
the bends in the road rather than flying straight west.
