[va-bird] Harvey's Knob Hawkwatch Tuesday (25 Oct 2005) 24 Raptors

Joyce Holt kept the count today. She, along with Katie James, Andy Biggs, and 
Jim Hylton braved cold, blustery winds out of the NW replete with snow 
flurries to score the first Northern Goshawk of the season! Joyce reports the 
Gos 
was an adult and that travelers on the parkway reported more than just flurries 
at the Peaks of Otter, a few miles north of Harvey's.
