I just got back from Chincoteague NWR and did ask a volunteer that worked
at the visitor center about the water level at Snow Goose pool. He said
there is some water on the ends of the pool but it was mostly dry. It
did rain _some_ on Saturday and was nice clear day today. Hope that
helps! David L. Crooks

Hi everyone, Hope you all are having a fine day! The wind, here in Glen
Allen, is blowing trees and anything else all about. A few new back yard
birds this morning. White-Throated Sparrow 4 Dark-Eyed Junco 2 Kinglet
1 (I could not tell if it was a Ruby-Crowned or not. Normally have a
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet hopping about in the back yard during the Winter.)
Adult Male Northern Flicker 1 Eastern Phoebe 2 I am trying to keep a
check on moist soil conditions in Snow Goose pool at Chincoteague NWR. I
am planning a trip there around Thanksgiving week but may hold and head
else where if the pools are dry. Last year the Wildlife Drive pool was
bone dry, during my visit, and a lot of the Snow Geese headed further
South. So any info would be most helpful. Much thanks! Les BrooksGlen
