Sunday, August 5, 2007, 4:15-5:15 p.m. N. Marginal Drive, Burke Lakefront Airport, Cleveland Observer: Paula Lozano Turkey Vulture - 2, in air at west end of Burke Northern Harrier - 1, in air north of runways Red-tailed Hawk - 1, perched on tallest tower north of runways American Kestrel - 6, perched on structures & on the ground/runways, in air, and eating prey Peregrine Falcon - 1, perched on lower structure north of runways & in air Killdeer - 56, on ground west of Gate 12 Caspian Tern - 1, in air; flight direction - E to W Barn Swallows - a constant stream; flight direction - E to W Eastern Meadowlark - 2, in grass north of Gate 12 All of the above were seen from Aviation High School west to the exit to S. Marginal Drive. From that spot, a wet area was visible north of the fence, with a group of approximately 40 shorebirds - mostly at its west end. While I was there a helicopter landed and a small jet departed, putting them into the air and giving me two chances to count them and identify most as dowitchers and Greater Yellowlegs.
