 Area Briders:

A raft of 65 Red-breasted Mergansers was just off shore of Musick's Campground
in Sullivan Co., TN  today.  

And the raft of mergansers also had Bufflehead 25,  Lesser Scaup  34,
Redhead 3,
Gadwall 5, Mallard 3, Ruddy Duck  4  and Horned Grebe 3.  Nearby were
Pied-billed
 Grebe 2, Bonaparte's Gull 2,   and Common Loon 2.

The Hooded Merganser population at Middlebrook Lake has increased to 245 birds.
Ring-necked Ducks 37.   The winter gull population at Middlebrook is increasing 
since the storm.

Let's go birding.....and Christmas partying.
