I went to Villa Angela/Wildwood State Parks on Lake Erie on the east side of Cleveland Sat and today 10/2. I was there Sat from 3:30 to 6pm. Today from 10:10 to 2pm. There were more warblers Sat. Mark Anderson had a Sapsucker & Brown Creeper Sat before I got there. Today there was more abundance of other birds and I saw less warblers maybe because I got there late. Mark had a few more warblers. Here is what I saw with/without Mark yesterday & today.
