Birders, I know it has been a while since the Lakewood, Ohio CBC (west side of Cleveland). The CBC took place on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2014. Weather plays a huge role and the weather for the CBC was fairly mild, no snow or other precipitation, water was not frozen so nothing was concentrating the birds.
