[Bristol-Birds] BBC Field Trip to Winged Deer Park

On Saturday, 4/23/05, the Bristol Bird Club will have a field trip to Winged 
Deer Park in Johnson City, TN. Everyone is welcome. We will meet in the parking 
lot in front of the main office at 8 AM. This is off of the Bristol Hwy by the 
big white house, the statue and the old cabin. If you need help finding us, 
call my cell at 773-9234.
Brad Jones, Naturalist for the Johnson City Parks and Recreation Dept., has 
agreed to meet us at 8 AM to give a brief talk on the park, including some of 
the environmental concerns. There are continual challenges to saving the 
natural habitat in city parks. This is a great opportunity to show those in 
responsible positions that we care.

The park is wonderfully diverse in habitat and has over 150 species of birds 
recorded. Plan to walk through some wet grass.

On Thursday, 4/21/05, in about 1 1/2 hours, I found 38 species including

Great Blue Herons
Tree Swallows 
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
Brown Thrashers
Blue-headed Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warblers
Common Yellowthroat
Scarlet Tanager
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Field Sparrows
White-throated Sparrows
Red-winged Blackbird
Orchard Oriole

Other birds seen this week include 

Osprey
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Cliff Swallows
Ruby-crowned Kinglets
Worm-eating Warbler
Hooded Warbler
Chipping Sparrows

Hope to see you Saturday.
