Hi all,

� Went out in the cloud and drizzle to see what birds might be around; some roads closed due to downed trees etc. I made my way to Lake Needwood. in Rockville. Nothing exotic there, but the usual suspects were active.
Also birded the pond by Needwood mansion also. 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch, and lots of Cedar Waxwings.
