Hi All, I was at Edgewater park today and also saw the trees by the beach parking lot loaded with warblers. They responded to pishing and I was soon surrounded by 30+ warblers. There were also many many Chimney Swifts (50+) flying in the same area. The weather is very strange today around Cleveland. There is a low causing a powerful storm which extends from Virginia to remain parked diagonally SW-NE parked over Avon. One could see the dark clouds very near the shore of downtown Cleveland. Winds at Edgewater were very light from the east(+- 10 knots.) We went to Avon and experienced easterly gusts above 40 knots. I uploaded a couple of web shots of the radar here: http://is.gd/fIYsT While speaking with the surfers at Edgewater, they said they had not seen conditions like this in over seven years. There were 7-9 foot swells coming in at six second intervals. I look forward to hearing what other birders saw today along the lake (especially west of Cleveland.)
