[Fbogar@xxxxxxx]

Andy Higgs led a group of 16 birders this morning, February 3, 2003, at 
Huntley Meadows Park from 0700 to 0900.  33 species were observed in the 
bright, cool, sunlight including a large Sharp-shinned Hawk that posed in the 
trees beyond the Tower.  The Central Pond was largely covered with ice, but 
by 0900 the ice was vanishing in the warm sunshine.
