Friends,



I spent a little over1.5 hours at the Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve
yesterday.



This was my first time to visit this location.  If anyone is considering
this birding spot, it's really impressive and I highly recommend it.  Easy
to access, easy to park, easy to walk the trail, and a very unusual habitat.
I usually hesitate to head to the "city" to do my birding, but this location
was a really nice surprise!



List observed:



Eastern Towhee - 4

BG Gnatcatcher - 12

Common Loon - 2 - East side of the island

Red Necked Grebe - 1 - Far southwest side of the island, in the marina area,
very close views

Brown Thrasher - 2

White Throated Sparrow - 1

Savannah Sparrow - 2

Bufflehead - 2 - both females, off north side of island

Northern Flicker - 12 - They were everywhere.  I don't recall ever seeing so
many flickers.

Song Sparrows - 20



See you on the trails!



Spencer A. Ryan
