Hi all,
 
  Birded close to home today, glad to have a day without so much WIND. Lake Frank was quiet. and about 90% frozen over, with a small open section that held 1 Ruddy Duck.
Cruised by Lake Needwood, and it was a mess; dredging is in full swing in the lower and upper sections. Birds were scarce.
Last stop Meadowside Nature Center.  Feeders were active with the usual birds. Woods were also on the quiet side, except for a Red shouldered Hawk.

Yellow rumped Warbler  1

Carolina Chickadee  4
Tufted Titmouse  3
