["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dr. John Moyle, a member of the Bristol Bird Club and resident of Fall Branch 
near Kingsport, will present our Tuesday (March 14) club program at the East 
Tennessee State University - Bristol Center.  The meeting will begin at 7:30 
p.m.  ETSU is located on the Volunteer Parkway in Bristol Tennessee.
Dr. Moyle, who for 30 years has been a member  of the international Board of 
Management for the famous Asa Wright Nature Center and research area in 
Trinidad, will speak on "Birds of Trinidad and Tobago."

His program promises to be one of our best of 2005.


Many of you met Dr. Moyle and wife at our recent BBC Christmas party.  He 
participated in our Bristol Christmas Bird Count this year with his son, Dr. 
Robert Moyle, an ornithologist with the American Museum of Natural History of 
New York.

John Moyle is a retired educator from New York and moved to his wife's family 
farm area near Kingsport early last summer.  His academic field has been 
geology.

He is a past member of the Audubon Council of New York State and a past 
president of the Bronx River-Sound Shore Audubon Society (formerly Scarsdale 
Audubon) of New York.

The dual Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, were once connected to South 
America.  The combo is host to a rich array of flora and fauna, unequalled on 
any other Caribbean island. 

Trinidad's Asa Wright Nature Centre is a not-for-profit trust administered by 
the Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Co. Ltd.  The Nature Centre was established in 
1967 to preserve a part of the Arima Valley in its natural state; to create a 
conservation and study area; and to protect the wildlife. It is a renowned 
lodge and leader in eco-tourism. Nearby Tobago is a tranquil tropical gem with 
lush rainforest and pristine coral reefs and with the Rainforest Preserve, the 
oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere.

And don't forget our pre-meeting dinner held at 6 p.m. at the Mad Greek 
Restaurant a few miles south of the ETSU Bristol Campus across from the Bristol 
Tennessee Electric System and Avoca school.

Let's go birding......
