    I visited Piney Run Park and Liberty Lake yesterday.  The lake at = Piney Run is 99% ice-covered but the birds keep part of it open all the = time.  Liberty is also largely frozen but there is an open stretch along = the Baltimore County side visible from the end of Oakland Road in = Carroll County.
    At Piney Run were:
Pied-billed Grebe  4
Canada Goose  220
Black Duck  2
Mallard  40
Canvasback  15
Bufflehead  3
Hooded Merganser  4
Common Merganser  2
Coot  40
Ring-billed Gull  30

    At Liberty Lake:
Canada Goose  600
Black Duck  40
Mallard  80
Ring-necked Duck  5
Bufflehead  3
Hooded Merganser  6
Common Merganser  7
Coot  2
Ring-billed Gull  160

    The only other bird of note was a Barred Owl calling from the Field = Trail at Piney Run.
