Just a few birds I was able to see the last two days very late in the day at Villa Angela/Wildwood of Cleveland Lakefront State Park on Lakeshore Blvd. & E. 174th after 5:15 to after 7pm.  Tufted Titmouse are so much more abundant in these parks throughout the year.  Their sounds are heard throughout the area.  I even have more in my yard where they used to be rare.
