Granger Avenue, Lakewood, Cuyahoga Co., 7:50 a.m.
Observers: Paula Lozano & Lisa Sierk

Cooper's Hawk  -  2, adult & juvenile
As I drove across the railroad tracks, the hawks appeared overhead, one 
veering out of sight to the right and one to the left crash landing in a 
tree behind Lisa's house. Luckily there wasn't any traffic and I was able to 
park, grab my binoculars and watch what appeared to be a juvenile Cooper's 
hawk as it tried to regain its footing. It did so momentarily before 
flapping its wings, completely losing its balance and tumbling downward 
before disappearing. At that point the other hawk reappeared, calling and 
following the juvenile.

Oakwood Park, Lorain, Lorain County, 8:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 5:35 p.m.
Observer: Paula Lozano

Sharp-shinned Hawk  -  1, juvenile, 8:30 a.m.
This bird got my attention because it was hopping up and down on a low set 
of bleachers near the basketball court. It had a small fox squirrel trapped 
under the bleachers. As I slowed my car, the "sharpie" flew into a nearby 
tree before flying into the trees on the south side of the park.

Red-tailed Hawk  -  1, 8:30 a.m. & 1:00 p.m., appeared to be same hawk 
observed on Monday perched in woodpecker nest tree.

Red-headed Woodpecker  -  4, 2 adults and 2 nestlings; all three times
I confirmed that there were at least two nestlings. On my last stop today I 
found a dead nestling in the road below the nest, with the adults feeding 
another nestling.

Granger Avenue, Lakewood, Cuyahoga Co., 7:00-7:15 p.m.
Observers: Paula Lozano & Jan Ranahan
Canada Warbler  -  1, juvenile, actively foraging in lilac and quince bushes 
by the back porch.

Eastern Screech-Owl  - 1, 9:45 p.m., heard only
Observer: Paula Lozano

(P.S. Non-Ohio sighting: At 7:30 p.m. CDT a "swarm" of nighthawks was 
feeding at treetop level at my sister's house on W. Deep Lake Road in 
Bayfield County, Wisconsin. They're coming!)
