Cackling Goose: David Russell reported three from Acton Lake on the 21st.

Red-throated Loon: John Pogacnik tallied one on his Lake County lake-watch on the 19th.

Northern Shrike: Early reports have come in from Mentor Marsh State Nature Preserve, Lake County, and from near Girdham and Reed Roads in Oak Openings Metropark, Lucas County.
