At North Chagrin MP yesterday,  perhaps 12 wood ducks, at least that many mallards, 3 hawks, two together above sanctuary marsh (broadwing) and one(?) above the Chagrin River near Squire's Castle.  Also, earlier in the week, was able to hear a woodcock in one of the upper meadows near the administration quarters as previously reported by another birder.
 
Today at E. 72nd st. a few RB and Hooded Mergansers, a few rb gulls and 10 or 12 cormorants.  Similarly at Wendy Park on the Cuyahoga at Whiskey Island, ducks were too far off to identify but cormorants were flying up to the RR bridge and back out.  I was lucky to get a couple decent shots of the rb mergansers and cormorants you can see here:
