A late post but still relevant.  Last weekend I visited here for the first
time since migration and found a colony (?) of bank swallows nesting on the
eroded hillside against the Chagrin River.  Here are a few pictures
http://www.flickr.com/photos/85567104@N05/. From the parking lot just walk
straight toward the river and hillside - you can't miss the 200-300 nest
holes against the hillside and across the river.



This park is in far eastern Cuyahoga county, about a mile or so west of
Chagrin Falls.  From Chagrin Falls take Chagrin Blvd west, cross the Chagrin
River and turn south (left) on River Road.  Follow River Road to the first
parking lot on the left.



As you travel River Road you will come to two sharp bends in the road with
an eroding hillside on your right and wetland on the left.  I heard a
Virginia Rail in the wetland on the same visit last Saturday.  I am sure it
remains.



Good Birding,
