I was at Wildwood/Villa Angela 11/18 and today from 8:15 to 10:40am and land birds have been slow there.  Friday mostly just saw Golden-crowned Kinglets.  Today 11/20 there were about  6 of the kinglets, only few Song Sparrows, Carolina Wren singing on the island, Winter Wren 1 down by the creek, over 25 House Finches in a tree near Euclid Creek & parking lot (way more than I ever see), over 25 Horned Grebes in the marina and many more outside marina, 1 Common Loon near Villa Angela, 2 Amer. Black Ducks, Coopers Hawk, few Bonaparte's Gulls and multiple thousands of Red-breasted Mergansers mostly flying east some going west early on.
 
Today 11/20 stopped at Sims Park in Euclid from 11:30 til after 1pm.  I counted 23 scoters:
 
White-winged - believe I saw 4 today, positively were 3 (one had a totally dark head)
Surf  Scoters ~ 9 or 10
Black Scoters ~ 9
Common Goldeneye 7-8
Bufflehead 5
Horned Grebes - many spread out
Red-breasted Mergansers - spread out
 
Then stopped at a few places in Euclid, Northern Mockingbird at Euclid Sq Mall, 5 more House Finches at RTA Turnaround near Babbitt & St. Clair and Red-tailed Hawk seen there and also Bluestone Bus Park (looked like same one) and ended up at Cuyahoga County Airport in Richmond Hts around 3:30pm.  Walked north along disk golf course near Richmond Road saw 8 white swans (probably Tundra Swans) flying NNW to SSE as I just started to walk.  Too dark to see much in picture.
