Since the first of the year I've been to Cleveland Lakefront St. Pk. by the 
ranger station several times in search of the northern saw-whet that had been 
mentioned in a post a day or two earlier, with very little luck.  On Tuesday 
several of us caught a very minimal glimpse of it through heavy needle cover 
towards the top of a tree on the west side of the parking lot thanks to the 
diligence of a lady birder from Cincinnati with especially keen eyes...Then on 
Wednesday I saw a small raptor fly into the trees on the east side of the lot, 
and all the way to the north, at dusk, but when I got over there I couldn't 
locate it.  So imagine my surprse when tonight, as I was settling into the 
"tube" with an old movie my wife announced that my friend the Cooper's hawk was 
out back at the feeder.  When I went to look my daughter (who had made the find) 
said she thought it was an owl, which indeed it was...and still there...and a 
very co-operative one at that.
