Today 16 members of the Bristol and Herndon Bird Clubs braved cool weather and 
a bit of wind to bird parts of South Holston Lake and other Sullivan County 
waterfowl areas.  At this point, we have more pictures of brightly colored 
winter clothing with folks hidden in there somewhere than of birds (see Wallace 
Coffey's earlier post on Bristol-birds), but we did manage to see or hear the
