[Bristol-Birds] Hungry Mother State Park Lake to be lowered 12 feet in Sept.

Hungry Mother State Park Lake, near Marion, VA, in Smyth County, will be 
lowered up to 12 feet beginning September 2008. This will impact lake 
activities such as birding, boating, boat rentals and fishing as well as the 
lake's appearance. If your plans include lake activities, please make your 
reservation for after March 1, 2009. The park will not give refunds because of 
the dredging.  This may cause increased shorebird and waterbird stopping places 
during fall migration.  Plan to take advantage of this opportunity.
