I birded Edgewater Park in Cleveland in the hopes of getting a lifer
snowy owl but no joy. There was a flyover adult bald eagle, some hooded
mergansers in the yacht club harbor together with a few red-breasted
mergs and mallards. Gulls on the beach looked to be ring-billed with a
lonely herring gull in the mix. More mallards near shore and one
American black duck and an odd hybrid mallard. There were a couple more
red-breasted mergs here.

I drove by Burke but didn't know where to park so I didn't look for
snowy's there. E. 72nd street Lakeshore Reservation was mostly empty but
I did see a pair of horned grebes about 200 ft off the break wall
opening from the power plant, bobbing in the waves.

Alas snowy owls still elude me. Hard to believe a big white fireplug of
a bird could be so hard to find!
