Birders,

I know it has been a while since the Lakewood, Ohio CBC (west side of Cleveland). The CBC took place on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2014. Weather plays a huge role and the weather for the CBC was fairly mild, no snow or other precipitation, water was not frozen so nothing was concentrating the birds. Here is the list of 78 species and the numbers of each. (*) asterisks are species that are notable.
