We spent a frigid morning birding at Southard's Pond in Babylon Village. Upon first arrival we noted that the pond was mostly frozen, with only a a small area on the north end open. While scanning the packed waterfowl (mostly Canada Geese) we observed a hawk sitting up in a tree near the waterfowl. We went back and got the scope and put in on the bird - an immature Red-shouldered Hawk. Other birds found in the woods south of Southard's Pond included Hermit Thrush (2), Eastern Towhee (1), Golden-crowned Kinglet (3), and Winter Wren (2).
