The Tipton Haynes Historic Site is in Johnson City on South Roan St. south of Food City. If you are coming down S. Roan St. from the north, the turn-out to Tipton Haynes is on the right and is clearly marked. Coffee, juice, and muffins will be available for those who arrive early for the Bird Walk. All are invited. The REGULAR APRIL MEETING of the Herndon Chapter will begin at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 3. The meeting will be held at the Science Building (first floor, first room on the right) at Milligan College in Elizabethton. Agenda items include planning of the club Spring Bird count, information about the Roan Mountain Spring Naturalist Rally, and information about the joint TOS/VSO meeting to be run by the Bristol Bird Club at the Holiday Inn and Conference Center in Johnson City Friday through Sunday, May 18-20. The meeting presentation will be given by Dianne Draper and Don Holt, who will discuss birding done on random travels to Ohio and Michigan. Prior to the meeting, some members will meet at Bellacino's Italian Restaurant on South Roan St. (Food City Parking Lot) in Johnson City around 5:30 p.m. to eat and socialize before the meeting.
