Ducks in Spring Hollow Run

Woodstock, VA


On some maps, this creek is called Hollow Run, but I have heard it called Spring Hollow Run and that is what the US Geological Survey calls it. I find the name intriguing because there are three geographic features in the name: Spring (the source), hollow (a small valley), and run (a creek). 


I have seen mallard ducks before at this pretty spot along Church Street.

  1. Its a nice name! And I think that if Mallards were rare, people would travel miles to see them! Hope all is well, Stewart M - Melbourne

  3. Mallards on a stream are as tranquil a scene as one might imagine. Were I an artist I would take up my brush immediately.

  4. A run is a term not used here in that context, though I'm familiar with it through history, ie Bull Run.

    1. The reason I defined the terms run and hollow is because they are not widely used in this context.
