Steele Creek Park
Bristol, TN
.
Kevin Elam, Nature Center Manager, lined up a morning bird walk that
terminated at a banding station operation where Richard Lewis was banding and
releasing birds trapped at the park's grassland area.
.
Highlights included a Red-breasted Nuthatch heard first by Larry McDaniel and
I later spotted the bird. The beach shore held one Spotted Sandpiper and
Larry also spotted a Cooper's Hawk near the grassland. Students from VA
Highlands
C.C., Vance Middle School, and Central Elementary were also in attendance.
Sam Cross endured the wrath of a Cardinal as he tried to release a newly banded
specimen. The bright red bird chose revenge by biting Sam rather than freedom
when placed on Sam's hand as a platform for the release. When asked about the
incident Sam said simply, "It hurt!"
.
Bristol Bird Club member Chris O'Bryan presented a program on his research in
the park later in the evening.
