Area Birders:

The weather will be clearing and the Bristol
Bird Club's January meeting is on schedule
tonight (Tue, Jan. 21) at 7:30 p.m. at the
East Tennessee State Unviersity Bristol
Campus on the Volunteer Parkay.

BBC members and Program Chair Larry
McDaniel  hope to have a great turnout
tonight for our speaker who is making a long
trip here for this program.  

In just a few hours Ken Dubke will be making
the four-hour drive from his home at Chattanooga
to Bristol where he will be the speaker at BBC.

He will bring his excellent color slide show about
the Sandhill Canes and the Whooping Cranes
which visit at the Hiwassee Wildlife Management
Area north of the city.

He will also tell us about the 11th Annual Cherokee
Heritage & Sandhill Crane Viewing Days" at Birchwood,
Tennessee, February 8 & 9.  Dubke is the founder of
the event and one of the main persons in the south
helping with crane restoration.

Dubke, who has been a popular visitor and speaker
at BBC meetings over the years, will show a great
color slide program about the history and present 
efforts to develope a migratory population of the
Whooping Crane in the east.   He will also include
the pictures of the great Sandhill Crane migration
which winters near Chattanooga and the thousands
of birds that are transient there.

BBC hopes to have your support for this evening's
program and to hear Ken Dubke.  Ken is a former
president of the TOS, state treasuer, leader of 
Tennessee birding and historian with the U.S. National
Park Service.

We'll look for you on the front row.
