I was at Villa Angela & Wildwood State Parks in Cleveland 3/26 & 3/27/11.  Not much new and different since Mark Anderson was there on 3/21 as it was rather cold this weekend.  He caught up with me 3/26 as we later ran into Jeanne Hrenko.  I was by myself 3/27.  As I was going back to my car today near Lakeshore Blvd was able to finally locate my FOS Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in the trees west of and near the entrance road briefly.
