I got home late this afternoon and saw many birds were seen today.  So I had to have a very late day birding visit to Wildwood State Park on the east side of Cleveland even though I know I missed alot today.  I was there from 6pm to 7:50pm.  As soon as I crossed the bridge past the triangular grassy knoll area with mowed path into woods there were some warblers.  (The cardinals were very helpful too) Many migrants were high up and far away dive bombing trees and I could not ID all of them.  There were also warblers very high in the trees that are at the north end of the woods between bathhouse and fence near Euclid Beach.  The best sights were the Black-crowned Night-Herons.  When I was down stream from the bridge I heard what sounded like a little annoying dog barking but saw no dog.  When I went further down Euclid Creek where the fisherman were I could see two or three immature Night-Herons flying around the island "barking" like
 crazy.  When I went back to the car on west side of parking lot (east of creek) the Night-Herons were flying around "barking" as the adult sat on log in stream.  I could see three of  them flying around as I drove out.  I don't normally stay there that late but they were very active.  Here is my list:
 
Black-crowned Night-Herons  4 (3 juveniles + 1 adult)
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 1 juvenile
Hairy Woodpecker 1, N. Flicker 1
Wrens - many heard
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1
Swainsons Thrush 1, Wood Thrush 1, Catbirds 5
 
Warblers:
Nashville 1, Cape May 1, Yellow-rumped 1,  Blackpoll 2, Common Yellowthroat 1, Wilsons 1,
White-throated Sparrows - heard only
