[<merlin42@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry McDaniel and myself (Rob Biller) made an  after work trip to the top of 
Roan Mountain last Thursday (6/28/07) after work.  We started at the Nursing 
Home in Roan Mountain where we found the resident Willow Flycatcher there at 
the top of a  Willow tree, then proceeded up the mountain through the rain to 
Carver's Gap.

Here are the rest of the highlights from up at Carver's Gap and upward to the 
garden area at the top (Carver County, TN - Mitchell County, NC).  Sorry for 
the late report.
