This morning (March 2) at Middlebrook Lake in Bristol Tennessee, I found three of the four Common Mergansers reported Feb. 28 by Bryan Stevens and others. I may have overlooked the fourth since I was a little rushed. One was an adult male. The Hooded Mergansers have not left. The count was 112. Still waiting to see most of them go north for the winter. Several hundred Ring-billed Gulls were living it up. Let's go birding..... Wallace Coffey Bristol, TN
