In spite of the weather, the Audubon walk at Shaker Lakes (east side of Cleveland) yesterday had about 14 birders. We saw a nice variety, with lots of Yellow-Rumped Warblers, both kinds of kinglets, and Brown Creepers. Three species of swallows (barn, northern rough-winged, and tree) made an appearance about 10 AM, and a pair of Bufflehead were hanging around the lake. My list (probably not exactly the "official" count) follows.
