Thanks for posting this Hal/Lynn.   I went looking for it at lunchtime yesterday 
and had no luck.  I looked carefully in the same area, as well as along the road 
at Tanyard, Rd, Nottingham Rd, Candy Hill Rd, Fenno Rd, and St. Thomas 
Church Rd.  I also looked around the top of Merkle by the V.C.

I will try looking around some more, and post if anything changes!

A couple other notes.  Monday morning when I dumped off my trash at the 
P.G. County recycle pad on Brown Station Rd, I saw 5 Blue (snow) geese with 
the flock of other waterfowl (mostly honkers) on the pond there.  I think they 
may be the same group that overwintered in the area the last two winters.

Yesterday, I saw an adult Red-shouldered Hawk eat an unusual breakfast 
behind my house.  It was ~30-32 degrees out, and I was surprised to see the 
hawk perched in a tree and eating a bullfrog, which appeared to be very stiff!  
I think this bird is our locals; during summer I have often seen it flying off with 
a snake - it seems to really like the swamp's delectable offerings!

I will be off from work and probably birding a lot around Jug Bay and vicinity 
the next couple weeks.  I'm excited about the possibility of seeing any winter 
gulls, raptors, "boreal finches" or other winter migrants :)

Season's Greetings!
