I waited out yesterday's thunderstorm to do some early evening birding at
Lake Roland. I flushed a Snipe near the concrete pumphouse and saw (as did
another birder I met earlier in the day)about 20 Common Mergansers.

Also observed a Pileated Woodpecker entering a tree cavity on the high
bank overlooking the northeast part of the lake. He's been drumming in
that area for a couple of weeks now.
