I went to Villa Angela & Wildwood State Parks late this afternoon.  I didn't get there til 5:30pm but Mark Anderson was there from around 4pm and we left around 6:50pm.  He wanted me to post some of his sightings with mine but he had more variety as I was hung up in the field and never walked around much because the field was so good.

Wildwood Marina (I only saw the scaup)
Bonaparte's Gulls ~25 all different plumage's sitting on the ice
Lesser Scaup 6
Hooded Mergansers - pair in Euclid Creek
Horned Grebe 1, Pied-billed Grebe 1
American Coot 1


Villa Angela
American Woodcock 2 - I flushed these near the entrance before you get to the field area on the left in the thickety area (the field north of the library)
Northern Flicker 1
Brown Creeper 1
Winter Wren 1
Golden-crowned Kinglet 1
American Tree Sparrow 1
Fox Sparrows 5 if not 6 (also near entrance to field area kept moving around as we moved around)
Song Sparrow 1 or 2
Eastern Towhee 1m


Sims Park - Euclid
I stopped here around 5pm to see what the Lake or ice looked like.  Because there is so much ice near the shore I was only able to scope approx 23 Common Goldeneye in a few small openings to the east and to the west, and the Red-breasted Mergansers past the ice were to far to see clearly but there were many.  Saw a handful of Bonaparte's Gulls and a few Great Black-backed Gulls.
