Just skimmed through some of the posts from NE Ohio and as I suspected from my day's bird outing, it was a great migration day. I don't think I saw anything that others didn't see, but here goes anyway. Going in reverse chronological order just to compare to Tim Colborn's post, Ann and I did Erie Street Cemetery later in the day from about 3:30PM till just before the storm hit. We saw the same sparrow species as Tim but maybe a couple more individuals of certain ones. I confess I'm not good at estimating large numbers. More than 10 and that's a lot to me.
