Hi Everyone,
In response to the exchange about Loons still in Ohio, we checked on the
Lakeview Cemetery loon this morningit was still there at 9 AM, in the
lagoon behind Wade Chapel Lakeview Cemetery has entrances on Mayfield Road
and on Euclid Avenue--itıs between Cleveland, East Cleveland and Cleveland
Heights.
In addition, in a very short visit, we had a female Wood Duck leading 10
very tiny ducklings in the lagoon, and two male and one female Baltimore
Oriole, and an Eastern Kingbird.
We also made a short stop at Sunset Pond and Marsh in the North Chagrin
Reservation of the Cleveland Metropark system. Upon arriving, we witnessed
some drama, pretty high overhead: a Red-shouldered Hawk was fighting with
two Cooperıs Hawksnot just the kind of chase weıre more used to seeing;
they were all really attacking each other. Eventually they all drifted off.
Among other birds we saw or heard there were:
Yellow Warblers (lots)
Great Crested Flycatcher
Common Yellowthroat
Barn Swallow (nest-building)
Tree Swallow
Warbling Vireo
Northern Flicker
Baltimore Oriole
Several Wood Ducks with ducklings, and one Mallard female with ducklings
Best wishes,
Steve Cagan
Cleveland Heights, Cuyahoga County
