I hadn't been to Villa Angela/Wildwood Cleveland Lakefront State Park since Sunday was able to go there Wed evening form 5:30 to after 7:30pm.  Didn't see much was able to see two more Fox Sparrows.  One was in Villa Angela scratching around the leaves under a bush and one was in Wildwood down below the woods near Euclid Creek.  That one was singing.

I noticed the Villa Angela bird was in a different location as the others I had seen last weekend.  Usually I see them in the woods north of the field north of the library.  This one made the same noise that I heard in the same place last weekend but I couldn't see it clearly then.  It makes a noise similar to other birds like two stones being tapped together.

There was an adult Red-tailed Hawk that flew from the woods just above Euclid Creek to the tall trees across Euclid Creek.  Then the birds harrassed it and it flew to the library area then returned to the same trees.  Then it landed in the trees west of the entrance road and the Herring Gulls were making a lot of noise during this last landing.  One was sitting on top of a utility pole near Lakeshore Blvd. continually calling and then two were circling above the Hawk until it flew off.
