Rack Cross, BBC Fun Fest Event Chairman
Kingsport Greenbelt
Netherland Inn Road
Kingsport, TN
This morning 17 participants turned out under overcast skies to take part in 
the first BBC Fun Fest Greenbelt Birdwalk. Mary Jane Erwin was our group 
leader and recorded 27 species of birds identified! The barrier-free walk 
departed 
from the Civitan picnic shelter on Netherland Inn Road and meandered along 
Kingsport's Greenbelt toward the confluence of forks of the Holston River. 
Highlights of this mornings trip include:

       Baltimore Oriole (pair)
       Double-crested Cormorant
       Belted Kingfisher
       Pileated Woodpecker
       Cedar Waxwing
       Red-eyed Vireo

This walk concludes the BBC / Ward's Feed Store sponsored barrier free Fun 
Fest events for 2003. Positive feedback is already abuzz from members / 
participants and Fun Fest officials.

 I want to thank Bill Grigsby and Mary Jane Erwin for agreeing to head up 
this year's walks. Without their willing leadership these events would have 
been 
much less of a success. Also a great deal of gratitude is due the numerous BBC 
members who showed up at each of the events to ensure all went smoothly, and 
it did! Finally thank you to all the participants who made all the effort 
worthwhile.
