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 .
