 Among lots of other birds, I found 2 Winter Wrens at Lake Needwood
 Park, off Avery Road (off Muncaster Mill Rd) in Montgomery Co.
 The area I birded was the wooded ridge to the west of the hiking-
 biking trail.  The wrens were on the shrubby hillside of the ridge,
 next to the mowed field.  Other birds included:
    Ruby-crowned Kinglet (many)
    Golden-crowned Kinglet (several)
    Eastern Towhee (many)
    White-throated Sparrow (many)
    Blue-headed Vireo (several)
    Common Yellowthroat (several)
    Blue Jay (many)
    Northern Flicker (several)
    Eastern Phoebe (2-3)
 Other birds seen singly included
    Pine Warbler
    Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
    Downy Woodpecker
    Hairy Woodpecker
    Red-bellied Woodpecker
    Wood Thrush
    Chipping Sparrow
    Red-tailed Hawk
 Also plenty of Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Northern Cardinals,
 etc.  A beaver was once busy clearing the ridge (very ambitious) and
 the open areas are filled with grape vines and other berry trees.
