4-23-2003: Bryan Park -Female Wood Duck with at least 10 young in the upper pond where the Common Loon had been. (Last sighting of the Loon was 4-19). The Henrico County Board of Supervisors withdrew a proposed ordinance last night that would have made it illegal to have a birdbath in your backyard with water in it. (Water had to be more than 6 days old. The fine is $250) In an attempt to eradicate the West Nile Virus, the manager had proposed this ordinance to the Board. Instead, the Board has adopted a policy to urge citizens to eradicate all standing water. For county retention ponds they plan to use a larvacide, but did not specify the exact name. Will try to find out. You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General. To unsubscribe, send email to va-richmond-general-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
