[va-bird] Birding after the storm in Augusta County

Hello all

After work today I did a full scale pond check in & around Augusta County .For 
sake of timing with dinner this evening  I had to let a couple of ponds go 
unchecked . Best find for today was 2 Common Goldeneye & 3 Greater  White - 
fronted Geese . Below is a list of ponds checked . Today we had a high count 
for Ring - necked Duck of 109 . Plus we have no peak count for Common Goldeneye 
for winter so the 2 birds found today will serve as a begining .
