I was at VillaAngela/Wildwood in Cleveland today and also Sims Park in Euclid.  I spent most of the day going back and forth between the two parks multiple times.  Villa Angela before, during and after the rain around 9am didn't seem to produce anything new so I went to Sims Park around 11:30am.  Here are a few of the birds seen:
 
Sims Park (the bugs were terrible, flies were biting and the little bugs were all over - most everything seen 11:30 to 1:15pm.
 
Turkey Vultures 19 seen flying west, 5-7 mins later  23 seen flying east and then started kettling.
Bald Eagle 1 adult seen nearby flew east
Ruby-throated Hummingbird 1
 
Red-headed Woodpecker 1 (they have been seen at Sims in prior years in the summer so not sure if this was a migrant as I don't go there much in the summer)
 
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1 (my camera was not ready)
Yellow Warblers 4 (seemed to be migrants)
 
(The hummingbird, yellow warblers, and Red-headed woodpecker were all in one very tall dying tree on west side of park south of woods.  It seemed to be catching migrants.  After they flew off they could not be found in the park.  The tree also had one warbler I couldn't positively ID as it was overcast and to high up.  It was white underneath with pale yellow around neck and head.
 
Villa Angela/Wildwood - returned here around 1:45 and ran into Mark Anderson.  We found:
 
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1 in the Villa Angela side
 
American Robins were very abundant today at both parks and there were multiple Northern Flickers as were the Barn Swallows.
