[Fbogar@xxxxxxx]

Don Mauchline led a group of five very cold birdwatchers this morning, 
December 9, 2002, at Huntley Meadows Park from 0700 to 0900.  A group of 
twenty Canada Geese made an interesting attempt at a landing on the frozen 
central pond.  The highlight of the trip was an immature Sharp-shinned Hawk 
perched on a small snag overlooking the frozen water.
