["William Leigh" <leightern@xxxxxxx>]

All,

Did a bit of birding the morning around Rockingham county area, highlights 
were 4 Bonaparte's Gulls and 22 Hooded Mergansers at Shenandoah Lake a half 
dozen Shovelers and several Widgeons. See e-bird list below. Also drove 
round the Leonard's Pond area where there were an additional 3 Green-winged 
Teal. Sparrows were there in good numbers but nothing unusual spotted. 
Siliver Lake in Dayton was devoid of wild ducks. As a youngster I used to 
bike to Silver Lake at the break of dawn to catch the migrating ducks. I 
could count on seeing lots of diversity and good numbers. There were no 
fishermen around today so I don't know what to attribute this change to.
