Weir Dams, Musick's Campground & Middlebrook Lake
Sullivan County, TN

If I was smart, I would have known it was too windy to birdwatch Saturday, 
but then I would have missed meeting some very nice birders.  Allan Kaplowitz 
of New Jersy, and his daughter Kara, an ETSU student, approached me as I was 
scoping the ducks at the Weir Dams.  I ended up giving them the grand tour of 
Musick's Campground and Middlebrook Lake.  We had a lot of fun, and I hope 
they can fit one or another of the local bird club meetings into their 
schedules.  Here's what we saw:

Weir Dams - Bufflehead, Ring-necked Duck, Mallard,Greater Scaup, American 
Wigeon

Musick's Campground - Common Loon, Bonaparte's Gull, Ring-billed Gull

Middlebrook Lake - Great Blue Heron, the resident Mute Swans, Ross's Goose, 
Canada Goose, Ring-necked Duck, Gadwall, Mallard, Hooded Merganser, 
Red-tailed Hawk, American Coot, Kildeer, Bonaparte's Gull, Ring-billed Gull, 
Belted Kingfisher
