Alligator River and Phelps Lake



      My wife and I are getting ready for our third annual winter trip 
to the Outer Banks.  This time we hope to have time to stop at some 
places we have only driven by in the past.  One of those places is 
Alligator River.
      I have a copy of Fussell's book, which we'll carry with us in 
the car.  Today I reread the section on Alligator River and have, 
therefore, an  idea or two.  However, up-to-date information is 
always useful, so if anyone can suggest specific sites to visit at 
this time of year, I'll appreciate the leads.
      Another target for a stop this year is Phelps Lake at Pettigrew 
State Park.  Some weeks ago Harry LeGrand reported a large flock of 
common mergansers there.  Has anyone been there since Harry's report? 
Common mergansers are still on my search list but if the birds have 
left the lake, there isn't much use in making that side trip.
