Hi all,
       Went to Lake Needwood to see what waterfowl were around.  The numbers of birds were low, but there was some variety as in a single female Northern Shoveler.  Stayed at the lake until the wind and a shakey scope drove me out of there.  Lake Frank (Rockville) was devoid of waterfowl, 
  Lake Needwood:
  1 NORTHERN SHOVELER (seldom seen here)
  10 Canada Geese
  2 Buffleheads
  6 Ring necked Ducks
  8 Hooded Mergansers
  1 Pied billed Grebe
  1 Belted Kingfisher
  2 Great Blue Herons
  1 Killdeer
  1 Pileated Woodpecker
  1 Red bellied Woodpecker
  1 Red tail Hawk (imm)
  2 Song Sparows
  2 Turkey Vultures
  3 Dark eyed Juncos
