[Susie Stout <susiestout@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Knoxville area birders,
I have been asked to do birdwalks at Lotts Elementary School (on 
Westland Drive  in West Knoxville near Pellissippi Parkway) during the 
weeks of 4/21 and 4/28. Are any of you birders out there interested in 
passing along your birding skills to a bunch of 2nd thru 5th graders? 
Last time I did this, we took out 400 kids, 20 at a time, for a 30 
minute walk. Many times we were able to see 20+ species within that 
time period. Our entire list is up around 50 species I think. I usually 
start the walks at 8:00 and finish by 10 or 10:30 each day. If you have 
the time, it is rewarding. The kids absolutely love it and they learn a 
lot... for the most part, they are well-behaved as well. (Teachers 
accompany the kids). If you'd like to help out, just let me know what 
day(s) and what hour(s) you'd like. I will send more info to you after 
you let me know you are interested. If you'd prefer not to "walk" we 
have a great place to set up a scope if you'd like to man that station.

Interested? You can respond directly to me at

Thanks in advance to anyone with a few hours for some interested kids.
