A Columbus Audubon trip led by Earl Harrison and myself to the lake (ivory soap Bill) adds the following:
East 72 was the best spot for Gull species (add 1 N. Pintail, 2 Ring-necked and Am
Kestrel to other birds reported there)
Avon Lake had the glaucous and perhaps other x specieis I'm not expert
enough to comment on. Avon had a terrific number of canvasback, 1 Bald Eagle, nice groups of male goldeneyes, and male bufflehead's.
Lakeview Cem. had the White-winged crossbills ~10 west of Garfield Monument as reported plus a pine siskin. The birds were cooperative enough for spotting scopes to observe their fascinating extraction of seeds.
Despite a 30 min spotting scope "transect" of Burke Airport along adjacent road no snowy owl (1 tundra swan, a horned lark and suspect kestrel)

I stopped at East 72nd this afternoon for a few hours and it was great.
There was a nice mix of gulls and ducks there and they were all pretty
close. There were at least 8 glaucous gulls, 7 Iceland gulls, 2 Thayer's
gulls, and 3 lesser black-backed gulls. In addition there was one Nelson's
gull and three different great black-backed x herring gulls. The Nelson's
was a 3rd cycle bird. All of the great black-backed x herring gulls.were
adults. Two were the typical ones we have been seeing. One had a lot more
head streaking than the other. The third bird was a lot darker and had very
little head streaking.
Ducks present were mallard, canvasback, redhead, greater and lesser scaup,
common goldeneye, and bufflehead.
