Greetings,
I bird watched in Henry & Patrick Counties yesterday afternoon (3 Nov). I
spent about two hours looking for birds in Martinsville with Jim Beard, the
rest of the afternoon I stopped off at a few places around Philpott Lake &
Fairystone. The female Ring-necked Duck on a small pond near an industrial
park may have been the same one that we found back in late June.
