I went to Lakeview Cemetery today 11am to 12:15pm in the Cleveland Hts/Cleveland area.  It was slightly snowing when I was there.  I saw approx 12-14 Common Redpolls from the road that is up from the main gate on Euclid Ave (Cleveland Northwest I believe). I could see the rapid train and the Free Clinic from the road.  There was a very large Sweet Gum tree that they seem to prefer.  There were also many American Goldfinch in with them.  They would sometimes fly to the nearby trees nearby/also across the road.  There were some Hemlocks that they would fly to or near.  It was continually very birdy along this area it is a lower elevation here.  There were 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches in the same tree, White-throated Sparrows (also seen many other places here) Juncos, Chickadees.  When I drove around and returned the Redpolls were still in the same tree and you could hear them making all sorts of noises when you were around them.
