Last week I conducted the Brandon breeding bird survey nothing unusual but
great to be out. I also did the SE Nightjar Survey that same evening which
covers every other stop through stop 19 on the Brandon BBS. Results were a
little disappointing. I thought Chickahominy WMA would have been more
productive.
