I stopped at the Wildwood Marina of the Cleveland Lakefront State Park off of Lakeshore Blvd & E. 174th St this afternoon around 6:15pm.  There is ice in the marina and ice along the near lakefront.  Here is what I saw in the marina:

Hooded Mergansers 10
Red-breasted Mergansers - few
American Black Ducks 2
Lesser Scaup 2 (m & f)
Northern Mockingbirds 2 (together along the beach at the east end of marina)


As it was cold and late I decided not to walk at this park.  I stopped at the Hospice of the Western Reserve area from 6:30 to 7:15pm (end of E. 185th St) west of their furthest west parking lot and north of the building that apparently was the former St. Joseph Christian Life Center that was purchased from the Cleveland Catholic Diocese recently.  Here is what I saw:

Fox Sparrows 2
Great Blue Heron 1 (flying west) pointed out to me by a very helpful neighbor
Killdeer 1
Junco 3, Song Sparrows 4
Northern Mockingbird 1 singing in next yard


Also, at my backyard this afternoon around 5pm:
Fox Sparrow 1 (under my feeder)
