Good news.  Last night's rains have refilled the Mud Hole.  And it didn't
take long for it to attract birds.  On the way home from school this
afternoon, I stopped by and found at least 70 Mallards and 55 Canada Geese
either on the water or in the field around it.  It's also worth mentioning
that beavers have constructed a damn across the creek just above the bridge
on Green Valley Road.  This impoundment is visible from Elk Garden Road at
the Mud Hole.  There was one GBH in the edge of it, but I couldn't see any
waterfowl on it.

 

With any luck, by the time Tom Hunter leads his expedition, some of the less
common ducks will have returned to the Mud Hole.
