Decided to hit Susquehanna State Park today (Tues. Feb 2) especially Lapidum, but when I got to the main entrance of the park, there was a sign concerning closure of the Lapidum parking lot.  The sign stated that the parking lot will be closed to on or about April 15, due to construction, unfortunately right around the time for looking for those Little and Black headed gulls!  I didn't drive down there to investigate, though.  Birdwise, there were several hot spots with pockets of birds.  The Rock Run area had the usual suspects, plus a pair of WINTER WRENS, both KINGLETS and BROWN CREEPERS.  The river itself had several pairs of COMMON MERGANSERS as well as a COMMON GOLDENEYE.  Conowingo Dam was the slowest I've ever seen, with hardly any gulls.  At best, I probably had 4 BALD EAGLES, although I didn't stay very long.  Hope this next storm will bring interesting birds!  I hear there may be a Noreaster coming this weekend!
