19 JUL 03
This morning marked the first ever Fun Fest Birdwalk hosted by Bays Mountain 
Park and led by the Bristol Bird Club (BBC). Last August when BBC President, 
Dave Worley, ordained me the chairman of the Fun Fest Birdwalk Committee I had 
little indication that the event would realize such a tremendous begining! 
Twenty-seven participants from at least three states showed up. Bill Grigsby 
was 
our group leader and served us well as the group identified 20 species of 
birds along the paved trail from the park's Nature Center to the Birds of Prey 
exhibit. 
Highlights included:
        Scarlet Tanager
       Hooded Warbler
       Belted Kingfisher
       Red-eyed Vireo
       Pileated Woodpecker

The next BBC Fun Fest  Birdwalk  will occur on Wenesday, July 23, 2003, under 
the direction Mary Jane Erwin. The group will meet at 8:30 AM at the Civitan 
picnic shelter along the Green Belt off Netherland Inn Road in Kingsport, TN. 
This is a great opportunity for a mid-week outing along the Holston River. I 
hope many of you can turn out in support of this barrier-free event.
