I had some time this morning so I birded along the Susquehanna River  looking 
for Black-capped Chickadees.  I started above Conowingo Dam and  worked my 
way to Susquehanna State Park.  I finally found a single  Black-capped in a 
large mixed flock in the State Park.  While leaving, on  Webster-Lapidum Rd, I 
found 3 more Black-caps, one of which was cooperative  enough for a photograph.  
 
Other highlights for the morning:
Snow Geese - 40 flying over the dam
Lesser Scaup - 30 above the dam
Ring-necked Duck - 1 with the scaup
Bonaparte's Gull - 5 above the dam, 1 at Lapidum
Laughing Gull - 4 above the dam, 2 below
many songbirds including several Winter Wrens and Kinglets, a Sapsucker,  Fox 
Sparrow, and a White-crown.
