This morning's Carroll County Bird Club field trip to Piney Run Park was attended by only two other people _ Dave and Maureen Harvey. Though the variety of waterfowl was not great the Eared Grebe was still present. Most of the upper part of the lake is frozen and birds were widely scattered over the lake making estimating number very difficult.
