Late Post Middlebrook Lake Bristol, Sullivan Co. 14 Feb 2006 The Hooded Merganser population was at 119 birds. I suspect the sharp decline of these numbers to follow soon at they leave any day now on their journey north for spring migration. We should watch those numbers carefully at Middlebrook Lake and Clear Creek Lake in Bristol, Va. Still had 21 American Coots were in the upper cove at Middlebrook. Let's go birding....
