Hi all,
  
  Took a short walk on the banks of Lake Needwood 11-1pm  in Rockville.
Pretty much the usual waterfowl visitors, except for a Red breasted Merganser (hen) on the open portion of water.A  Peregrine Falcon made a unsuccessful bombing flight that scattered the ducks briefly.  A few minutes later, a Cooper's Hawk made an unsuccessful try at the ducks.  
A Red Fox was prowling along the edge of the ice in broad daylight.
(Lake is about 95per frozen over.)
