I got a late start at Wildwood and Villa Angela Parks on Lake Erie on Cleveland's eastside.  Despite the wind I found a few warblers by the Euclid creek: Wilson's, Nashville, Yellowthroat, and Mourning.  Then I saw a Great-crested Flycatcher by the entrance.  In Villa Angela were Redstarts, Magnolias, Black-throated Blue as well as numerous Phoebes and Swainson's thrush as well as an all gray Empidonax.  I thought the Cleveland Nature Preserve( formerly Dike 14) might be better sheltered from the wind so I gave it a try.  At the revolving gate I spotted a Palm warbler and inside found all the same species as in Wildwood and Villa Angela except for the Mourning.  As I was walking back, however, along the east-west path that borders the fence, the area was alive with warblers including all the above and numerous Black-throated green as well as Tennessee,  Chestnut-sided, Pine, Bay-breasted,  and Black-and-white.  I saw another Great-crested as well as a Least Flycatcher and more Phoebes, Peewees and one Ruby-crowned kinglet.  Only at Magee Marsh have I seen that density of warblers.  There were a lot I couldn't get a good look at.
