Just skimmed through some of the posts from NE Ohio and as I suspected from my day's bird outing, it was a great migration day. I don't think I saw anything that others didn't see, but here goes anyway. Going in reverse chronological order just to compare to Tim Colborn's post, Ann and I did Erie Street Cemetery later in the day from about 3:30PM till just before the storm hit. We saw the same sparrow species as Tim but maybe a couple more individuals of certain ones. I confess I'm not good at estimating large numbers. More than 10 and that's a lot to me. Tim Us Dark-eyed Junco 50-75 same Song Sparrow 5-10 same Fox Sparrow 4-6 at least 6, probably more Chipping Sparrow ~3 same White-throated Sparrow 3 same Savannah Sparrow 1-2 2 Swamp Sparrow 1 2 Field Sparrow 1 2 at least Other birds Tim Us American Woodcock 2 big zero Eastern Phoebe 2-3 1 Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2 at least 12 Northern Flicker 12-15 same Downy Woodpecker 2 zero Ruby-crowned Kinglet 1 zero Brown Creeper 1 6 Brown Thrasher 1 3 all in one spot Hermit Thrush 6-8 at least 12 American Kestrel 1 zero American Robin ~12 ~30 Mourning Dove 2 0 ?
