After hyphenating "Freelists,"  the email posting about the Beginners' Trip 
never went out. So here it is!   Also,  we had a great program last night on 
digital photography....if you haven't been attending our members' meetings, you 
have been missing some great programs.

The clouds parted and the weather was fine on Saturday morning.  Twelve 
people took part in the inaugural Beginners'  Walk at Warrior's Path State 
Park.  
Bill Grigsby, Mary Erwin and John Moyle hosted nine "beginners" for a three 
hour session including bird books, optics and field ID.  The participants 
included: Kay Ann Smith (Kingsport), Michele Sparks (Blountville), Paul and 
Jamie 
Aiello (Kingsport), Susan Evans (Johnson City), David and Nathaniel Hunt (Gray) 
and Bryan and Heather Hogan (Jonesville, VA).  Twenty-eight species were 
identified including large numbers of Black and Turkey Vultures, Ring-billed 
gulls, 
Tree Swallows and Great Blue herons.  Other interesting finds were Pied-billed 
Grebe, several Yellow-rumped Warblers, beautiful looks at male Eastern Towhee 
and Northern Flicker.  Next Beginners' Walk will be at the Meadowview on 
April 26.  Next Field Trip will be Greene County on March 29  (Details will be 
posted later this week).                     John Moyle        Glen Alpine Road
