My friend Patty Munford sent me this message....she has a place on the upper branch of Lagrange Creek which is upriver of Urbanna Creek on the Rappahannock. Patty has been coming to our bird walks recently. Sometimes there are as many as 3-400 swans on her creek...and I have taken several of our members to see them. She is the one who reported hooded mergansers on her creek. I have seen several ducks in the distance out on the Rappahannock, but cannot identify them. "My" flocks of hoodies and buffleheads have not arrived yet. Perhaps this cold snap will bring them in.Maggie GerdtsJust upriver of Urbanna Creek on Heath's Cove off Robinson's Creek Hey Maggie I got a message from Cathy that the swans have started arriving on Le Grange Creek. That's good, they have been late and sparse in recent years. Hopefully they will bring lots of family and friends. ! Patty Munford
