At 10a today Sunday 8/16/2015 I saw a black and white warbler at Dike aka
Cleveland Lakefront Nature Preserve, Cleveland.

If I'm not entirely mistaken, this represents early migration.  A quick
perusal of eBird suggests that this species has not yet been spotted on the
Northeast Ohio lakefront this month 2015.  It seems, if I'm remembering
this correctly, only one or two were spotted in this location in the middle
of August last year.  A quick check of the Ohio Cardinal suggests that a
b&w at this time of the year and place is indeed uncommon.

Also I swore I heard a Baltimore oriole singing at Dike 14 today.  I
suppose this is not so unusual.  I see from eBird that adults with
juveniles were spotted nearby at Lakeview Cemetery two days ago.
