Hi Everyone, In response to the exchange about Loons still in Ohio, we checked on the Lakeview Cemetery loon this morningit was still there at 9 AM, in the lagoon behind Wade Chapel Lakeview Cemetery has entrances on Mayfield Road and on Euclid Avenue--itıs between Cleveland, East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights. In addition, in a very short visit, we had a female Wood Duck leading 10 very tiny ducklings in the lagoon, and two male and one female Baltimore Oriole, and an Eastern Kingbird. We also made a short stop at Sunset Pond and Marsh in the North Chagrin Reservation of the Cleveland Metropark system. Upon arriving, we witnessed some drama, pretty high overhead: a Red-shouldered Hawk was fighting with two Cooperıs Hawksnot just the kind of chase weıre more used to seeing; they were all really attacking each other. Eventually they all drifted off. Among other birds we saw or heard there were: Yellow Warblers (lots) Great Crested Flycatcher Common Yellowthroat Barn Swallow (nest-building) Tree Swallow Warbling Vireo Northern Flicker Baltimore Oriole Several Wood Ducks with ducklings, and one Mallard female with ducklings Best wishes, Steve Cagan Cleveland Heights, Cuyahoga County ----------- Steve Cagan, photographer www.stevecagan.com 216-932-2753 (USA) Current and upcoming activities: stevecagan.com/contents/currentactivities.html ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
