I did a very quick run along the Susquehanna on Saturday, Dec. 13.  My
report is similar to Les Eastman's for Sunday the 14th, with the addition of
a lone immature common goldeneye at Lapidum and a few bufflehead there, with
a winter wren along the old canal cut.  The eagle nest along Stafford Road
just north of Deer Creek looks like it will be active again, with a pair of
adults hanging out in the nest tree.  There was a moderate flock (maybe 100)
of common mergansers above the dam, at the overlook on Bell Manor Road, and
a pie-billed grebe at the Conowingo Creek boat launch.

Best birds of the day were not at the river, but at West Nottingham Academy
near Colora in Cecil County (my son's school).  There I had 3 red
crossbills:  2 males with a lot of red color and one yellow female.  Also
pine siskins, purple finches, golden-crowned kinglets, yellow-bellied
sapsuckers, pileated woodpecker, lots of other woodpeckers, white-breasted
nuthatches, etc.
