I helped Julie West out with banding this morning at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes (east side of Cleveland - Delorme page 41, A6). There were quite a few birds around early, although banding was quite slow (about a bird per hour). Fun stuff included an Osprey with a wriggling carp in his talons as he flew over and a handful of warblers. List follows.
