On February 2nd 2013, The Millersville Ornithology Class conducted a winter survey for birds at the Holtwood Preserve in Lancaster Pennsylvania.  The survey was conducted during the morning hours.  There were very brisk conditions early, but the morning ended well.

The results of this survey were shared with the Lancaster Conservancy.  A total of 26 species were identified and 256 individuals counted.  There were some nice looks at Fox sparrows, Red-breasted nuthatches and Eastern Towhees.  Also, got a nice look at a red-shouldered hawk (picture below, from New Jersey birds webpage).
