I am forced to cancel this weekend's planned outing to Middlebrook Lake due
to the departure of the water fowl. Hopefully I can schedule earlier next
year. 

 

For anyone interested in joining me I will bird Osceola Island that morning,
16 February, weather permitting. If you need directions drop me a line or
give me a call.

 

Remember the Great Backyard Bird Count begins this Friday and there are
great prizes this year for participants.

Hi BCBC Members,

Don Carrier has a friend who is a resident at Middle Brook Lake in Bristol,
TN. Thanks to Don, the friend, who is interested in becoming a birder, will
allow us the use of the community lake house there for a day of watching the
waterfowl, that are numerous on the lake at this time of year. Though not a
large lake, Hooded Mergansers, Redheads, Blue and Green-winged Teal,
Mallards, Black Ducks, Scaup, Ring-necked Ducks, American Coots and
sometimes Tundra or Mute Swans, Red-breasted Mergansers and Snow or Ross's
Geese are some of the species found there. The waterfowl can be seen from
inside the warmth of the lake house, which will accommodate around a hundred
people. Since the waterfowl will start leaving to migrate north later in
February, we decided that we should take advantage of the invitation as soon
as possible. The earliest time we can schedule an outing there is Saturday,
February 16th., the Saturday after our Burkes Garden outing. I will send out
directions and a time to meet later, but we need to get an idea of how many
would be interested in participating in this outing on the 16th.

We can arrange to have Little Caesar's pizza there that day at a cost of no
more than $5.00 per person (Bring your own drinks), or if that doesn't
appeal to you, you can bring your own lunch. 

 

Please reply to this e-mail to let us know if you are interested in going,
and also indicate if you would want to have the pizza.

 

Thanks,

Roger Mayhorn
