["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good weather is in store for Saturday morning's (Dec.4) Bristol Bird Club field 
trip which will meet the ETSU-Bristol Center at 8:30 a.m. to begin the day.

It was originally billed as a "Marsh Morning" with sponsored birdwalks at Cedar 
Creek Marsh Wetlands in Bristol Tennessee (Rack Cross and Wallace Coffey 
leaders) and then at the Meadowview Marsh Wetlands at Kingsport (Bill Grigsby 
and Larry McDaniel leaders).

We have called off the Meadowview Marsh destination because
nearly 1,700 cross country runners will descend upon Cattails Golf Course, 
to compete for a gold medal at the 2004 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Youth 
Cross Country National Championship and that doesn't count parents, spectators 
and coaches.   Most all the roads in the immediate area of Meadowview Marsh 
will be closed to traffic during the day.

We will probably be going to the proposed Bristol Tennessee Cedar Creek 
Wetlands to get a good look and some brief birding.

Larry McDaniel, Bill Grigsby, Rack Cross and myself will lead the birding out 
of the ETSU front parking lot.  It will be a very good day with some good 
birders participating. 

The National Weather Service coudn't provide us anything better:  Partly 
cloudy, with a high around 51. Calm wind most of the day !

Due to the changing availability of Meadowview, we will determine our 
destinations before we leave ETSU.  This will be a good birding trip.

We'll look for you on the front row with your binoculars.  Come and enjoy 
birding and put all of the early-seasonal hassel behind you.  Relax and bird.  
What could be better on a great Saturday morning ?

Let's go birding.....
