Brook Lake	xx
HABITAT:	428-acre lake surrounded by private lands managed by WDFW as game reserve for wintering waterfowl.
BIRDING:	The most spectacular birding begins mid-October, when 20,000 to 30,000 Canada Geese – joined by a few Snow and White-fronted Geese – arrive from Alaska and stay through November before heading further south. When January’s ice melts, large numbers of Tundra Swans, ducks, and geese come to stay through mid-March before continuing on north. Spring and fall migrations also bring Common Mergansers, Common Goldeneyes, Northern Pintails, Mallards, Green-winged Teals, and Gadwalls. Summer highlights include American White Pelicans and Double-crested Cormorants, while Northern Harriers stay year-round.
VIEWING:	Set up scope on wide gravel pullout to look down at lake. Caution: Trains pass through several times daily. Property on both sides of road is private; please stay on road easement while birding.
ACCESS:	From Hwy 28 at milepost 65, turn north onto gravel overlook.
