This is a small retention pond located in front of the entrance to the Church of the Incarnation in the Branchlands area of Charlottesville. Mallards and Canada Geese are regular here, and Eastern Kingbirds may breed as well. Wilson’s Snipe have been recorded from the marshy pond edge, and scouring the thickets between the pond and church may turn up an interesting passerine.
