Andy Higgs, Gene Keefe, and Mary Floyd led a group of four other birders on 
the Monday Morning Birdwalk at Huntley Meadows Park this morning, Monday, 
December 2, 2002.  It was very cold, sunny, and calm and the central pond was 
frozen over.  Four Tundra Swans, two immature, were observed for about a 
half-hour.  The birds flew north around 0830.  25 other species were seen or 
heard this morning.

November 27.
