(Caution: The steep paved path down to the lake from the parking lot is still covered with packed snow but is passable.) I did not see any widgeon, but did see a few ruddy ducks and one female canvasback with the coots. Too very close brown creepers were a consolation prize. Hopefully, the widgeon flock with return to the spot. Howard Youth hmyouth@erols.com Rockville, MD At 08:47 PM 01/27/2000 EST, you wrote: >Sue, > >Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
