Sat., Nov. 30, 2002 Weir Dams, Musick's Campground & Middlebrook Lake Sullivan County, TN If I was smart, I would have known it was too windy to birdwatch Saturday, but then I would have missed meeting some very nice birders. Allan Kaplowitz of New Jersy, and his daughter Kara, an ETSU student, approached me as I was scoping the ducks at the Weir Dams. I ended up giving them the grand tour of Musick's Campground and Middlebrook Lake. We had a lot of fun, and I hope they can fit one or another of the local bird club meetings into their schedules. Here's what we saw: Weir Dams - Bufflehead, Ring-necked Duck, Mallard,Greater Scaup, American Wigeon Musick's Campground - Common Loon, Bonaparte's Gull, Ring-billed Gull Middlebrook Lake - Great Blue Heron, the resident Mute Swans, Ross's Goose, Canada Goose, Ring-necked Duck, Gadwall, Mallard, Hooded Merganser, Red-tailed Hawk, American Coot, Kildeer, Bonaparte's Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Belted Kingfisher Don Holt 910 Smalling Rd.
