Elizabethton Bird Club field trip to Shady Valley

Here is a brief itinerary for Saturday.  The timing in the middle part is 
imprecise:

11:30 am - 12 noon (Optional):  I will meet any interested persons at The 
Bridges Restaurant in Elizabethton for lunch.

1 pm - Circle the wagons at NE State parking lot, beside BP station, across 
from airport, on Stoney Creek Rd.  Organize carpool.

1:15 ish - Visit Wynnwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center

2 - 2:15 ish - Rendezvous at silo at Shady crossroads for nabs and news.  
Proceed to Quarry Bog and find scads of rare birds.

4:30 (Optional) - Meet at Cranberry Cafe at crossroads for a quick bite to 
eat.

5 pm - Meet at Silo at crossroads with the Bristol Club.  Proceed to Orchard 
Bog for more great birds and Woodcock extravaganza.

It should start getting dark enough for woodcock around 6:30.  I expect 
departure time to be in the neighborhood of 7 pm for most.

I can probably be reached at 914-5862, but not always when in Shady Valley.  
Bring your cellphones and personal radios, and dress warm.  Nothing spoils a 
good woodcock vigil like frosty fingers and toes.

If the woodcock hesitate to cooperate, be prepared to participate in a 
woodcock beep and dance contest.  Winner receives untold intangible rewards. :-)
