From 0830-930 Sunday I counted migrants passing Perkin's Bluff at Edgewater SP (Cuyahoga Co). Here are the numbers:
Great Blue Heron 3
Killdeer 5
Mourning Dove 37
Northern Flicker 1
Eastern Phoebe 2
American Crow 138
American Robin 258
Pine Siskin 3
In other areas of the park - an adult ICELAND GULL was visible from the circle parking lot at the west end of the park, and a first-yr GLAUCOUS GULL near the Westerly Wastewater Treatment Plant. Also near the treatment plant was an adult SURF SCOTER consorting with a scaup flock (northeast corner of the harbor).
I checked Wendy Park for migrant owls, but found none. The grapevine tangles along the lake edge look enticing, and I did find a bit of whitewash.
The most peculiar bird of the day was an undersized, white-winged Ring-billed Gull at E 55th St marina. This Ringer had PURE WHITE wingtips and was quite a bit smaller than average - almost Bonaparte's-size. However, the rest of the bird was a dead match for adult Ring-billed Gull. Has anyone else seen such a bird?
A light-phase Rough-legged Hawk was at Burke, and a woodcock at Erie Street Cemetary.
