Today there is a lot more open water west of the mouth of the Cuyahoga River. However, these areas are not close enough to shore to identify any of the distant ducks except red-breasted mergansers. 

The following are sightings from Perkins Fishing Access and the east end of the upper field:

BBB (Big Black Bird - temporary id until Buzzard Day) - 5
Northern Harrier - 1, male
Red-shouldered Hawk - 1, immature; bathing in puddle behind restroom building
Red-tailed Hawk - 2
Killdeer - 2
American Crow - XX (estimate ~3 dozen), migrating but also on ice eating fish
