A great crowd is turning out for the all-day Friday
field trips for early birding at the TOS / VSO Joint Meeting
which will be held May 18-20 at Johnson City, TN, just a
few short miles south of the Tennessee/Virginia border.
The Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center management
reported today (April 12) that many rooms have been
reserved for Thursday night, May 17, and almost all are
taking room stays of three nights.
The early turnout for Thursday night accommodations is
evidence, to the Bristol Bird Club (the host club), that almost
all of these early birders plan to be at the starting line in the
Holiday Inn parking lots when the Friday field trips get under
way at 7 a.m., heading into the highlands of the beautiful
Southern Blue Ridge of Northeast Tennessee.
Here birding areas will extended from high elevation
cranberry bogs to well over 6,000 feet elevation along
the Tennessee-North Carolina border in challenging and
exciting northern conifers and northern hardwoods.
Birding should be simply exciting in one of the most accessible
high elevation birding areas of these southern mountains.
