I'll be visiting the Cleveland area right after Christmas. I have not seen any postings about Snowy Owls at Burke Lakefront airport [or anywhere in the area] this season. I was also hoping for an irruption year for the Crossbills. And is there any chance that Black Ducks are still in the area? I will be joining the Wellington area CBC. Looking forward to some nice winter birds and snow.
