["Larry McDaniel" <lmcdaniel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All local birders,

On Saturday,5/29/04, The Bristol Bird Club will have a field
trip to Roan Mountain focusing on owls and whatever else we
can find. Targets include Northern Saw-whet Owl, Barred Owl,
Eastern Screech-Owl, and Alder Flycatcher. Other owls, birds
and critters are possible. Rack Cross and I will lead the
field trip.

Plans are to be at the V.A. theater building in Johnson City
at 5:30 PM for the first meeting oppurtunity and a chance to
see Barn Owls. We'll leave there at 6:00 PM and meet at the
Arby's on Hwy. 19E in Elizabethton at 6:30 PM to grab a bite
to eat let the excitement build. We'll leave there at 7 PM
and stop at the third meeting point which is the Visitor
Center parking lot at Roan Mt. State Park at 7:30 PM. From
there we'll head up to Carvers gap for a chance at an Alder
Flycatcher and to start owling. It is there we hope to hear
and maybe even see saw-whets.

We will stop at various points comming back down the
mountain searching for Barred and Screech Owls. Great Horned
Owl is another long-shot possibilty. Wouldn't it be cool to
get 5 owl species in one evening.

Everyone is welcome to join us on what promises to be a fun
event. If you have questions please contact me.
