[va-richmond-general] Re: Wood Duck on Riverside Dr. (JRPS)

I heard on the news tonight that that very drive that you were driving on
will be all dug up from now to February 6; the road will be closed for sewer
work. I imagine those bulldozers rumbling around will scare off all those
mallards, buffleheads, wood ducks and so forth. You got to see them just in
the nick of time.

My husband and I were driving near Rock Falls Dr. at Riverside Dr. about
4:30 this afternoon and I was very surprised to see a pair of wood ducks in
gorgeous plumage between the islands and the road.  30 birders did not find
a single wood duck anywhere on the James River winter count on 1/17 and here
these two were out in the river with the usual ring necks, mallards,
canvasbacks, scaup, buffleheads, etc.  What a treat!
