Middlebrook Lake east Bristol Sullivan County Veterans Administration Center Pond Johnson City Washington County The arrival of the frontal system and northern weather development brought four (4) Surf Scoters and a flock of 67 Cormorants to Middlebrook Lake, at Bristol. One of the scoters was an adult male and an absolute beautiful bird to see at very close range. The Hooded Merganser count was 164 and Gadwall (4) were with them. Jeff Larsen called to report that the Common Loon was still at the VA Center pond in Johnson City and it evidently scared away a small flock of Bufflehead while he was watching. Let's go birding.....
