(east Tennessee...Foothills Parkway, Blount County near Townsend)

The Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society will hold a hawk 
watch on the this coming Sunday. See the announcement from our newsletter 
below:

Sunday, October 1, 8:30 AM
Hawk Watch at Foothills Parkway
8:30 a.m. - ??
Leader: David Trently; dtrently@xxxxxxx; (865) 531-1473 home; (865) 974-8664 
work
We?ll start at the base of the Parkway off US 321 near Townsend, eventually 
making our way up about four miles, to the site with parking lots on both 
sides
of the road. From there we will scan the skies for whatever raptors and other 
birds might pass by.
This is a great opportunity for those who prefer not to do a lot of walking, 
or don't like to get up too early. We'll be mostly staying in one place and 
you can show up any time to join us.
Feel free to bring lunch to share with others, as this works well as a 
pot-luck opportunity. A chair can be useful too, as there may be times to sit 
and chat while no hawks are being seen.
Other birds seen here in past years at this time of year: Red-headed 
Woodpecker, Common Raven, Caspian Tern, Sandhill Crane, Philadelphia Vireo.
