["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Geri Wynn, a wildlife rehaber from the Wynn Wood Wildlife Rehab center located 
four miles south of Shady Valley on Iron Mountain in Carter Co., TN, will be 
the speaker for tonight's (Jan. 18) meeting of the Bristol Bird Club.
Club members will gather at the Mad Greek Restaurant on the Volunteer Parkway 
in Bristol Tennessee starting at 6 p.m. for dinner on your own.  This popular 
social hour is a wonderful way to get caught up with all your birding friends 
and to make new friends.  We have had an excellent and steady turnout for about 
a year.

The Bristol Bird Club will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the East Tennessee State 
University Bristol Center on the Volunteer Parkway.  Geri Wynn will have a very 
interesting and informative program including the medical care and 
rehabilitation of hawks, owls and other birds species, including other forms of 
wildlife.

The Bristol Bird Club established a promotion partnership with Geri and Keith 
Wynn and their rehab operation about a year ago.  It began with an
injured Barn Owl found on the road along the South Fork Holston River upstream 
from Bluff City, TN in early April.  Bert Hale and other BBC members helped get 
the owl to the  Wynn Wood Wildlife Rehab center and it was later treated and 
released back at the original site on the South Fork Holston River.  We also 
assisted in locating a site in Shady Valley where a Great Horned Owl could be 
released and participated in the release.
Since then they have worked with Ron Harrington to share a booth with the BBC 
at the 4th Annual Earth Day and Arboretum festival in Abingdon.

The BBC meeting will also hear final arrangements for our club's sponsorship 
and arrangments for the Annual Winter Meeting of the Tennessee Ornithological 
Society which will be held in about 10 days at Dayton, TN north of Chattanooga. 
 We are responsible for the fieldtrips.

Anyone who owes for the registration fee for any of our three club-sponsored 
Christmas Bird Counts should see our treasurer, Janice Martin, and pay as soon 
as possible.  The club has already advanced fees for all participants.

And it is time to pay dues for the 2005 Bristol Bird Club membership year.  We 
need everyone to take care of that as soon as possible.

See ya tonight at the BBC dinner at Mad Greek (6 p.m.), followed by the kickoff 
of our 2005 year when we meet at 7:30 at the ETSU Bristol Center.

Let's go birding.....
