I went to Villa Angela and Wildwood State Parks on the eastside of Cleveland today form 12:00 to 2pm. I left and returned from 4 to 5:30pm when I ran into Mark Anderson this time. I hadn't seen him for awhile and he said he saw one Common Redpoll in Villa Angela feeding on the ground under the alders north of the field on Sat 3/12 in the exact place where I had seen three on 1/14/11 in the trees. So today we went to the same place and he found two of them in the same area. Here are a few of the birds seen today:
Wildwood Marina & Euclid Creek @ Wildwood
Hooded Merganser 1 pair
Pied-billed Grebe 1
Horned Grebes 8 (4 were seen on 3/16)
American Coots 2
Bufflehead 2 (there were 10 in front of Villa Angela on 3/16)
Red-breasted Mergansers - 4

Winter Wren 1
Gray Catbird 1
Chipping Sparrow 1 heard
Fox Sparrows 6 (woods north of field & near entrance)
