Hello all

Today I checked out the ponds in & around Augusta County after the SNOW storm 
that was to be a mix of snow & rain yesterday . Waterfowl numbers are picking 
up but still down from past storm histories in our area . Near the Boy Scout 
Camp in the Swoope area I had a single Tree Swallow flying over an open field .
