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.
