I went to Villa Angela/Wildwood State Park on the east side of Cleveland today from 5pm to 7:25pm.  I was pleasantly surprised how birdy it was so late in the day.  I heard Tree & Barn Swallows were seen today so I walked out on the concrete walkway out into the lake west of the creek (down from the bathhouse) and was able to see them there including the Kestrel.  New birds for me today were the Blue-headed Vireo, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Barn Swallows, Spotted Sandpiper.  I was able to still see Black-crowned Night-Herons in the woods as seen yesterday.
