Where: Mike and Jean Obrist's place, Goodwater Rd, Cocke Co, TN Who is invited: anyone with an interest in moths, butterflies, birds, dragonflies, wild flowers, nature photography, etc. This will be the first get-together of people on the TN-Moth group, and we are also inviting others who have similar interests. We will meet Friday around suppertime for comraderie, sharing pix, exploring our area, etc. After dark, we will set up a moth attraction station and photograph the visitors. Anyone who wishes is welcome to camp out here on our property. There is lots of room for campers and tents. Pitch your tent beside the creek and be lulled by the water flowing over the shoals. Sat am: Birders should try to drag themselves out of bed by 6:15 to hear a plethora of bird songs. Butterfly and dragonfly people may sleep in a bit, then join the birders and us for a hearty breakfast in our old farmhouse, and working on moth IDs. Forays can be made all day Saturday into various habitats within a three-mile radius of our place. Such habitats include: yard, old buildings, bridges, creek, pond, river, open pasture and hay fields, overgrown pasture, hardwood and mixed forest, dark hollows and sunny back roads. There is quite a variety of species here. Please RSVP. I will send directions.
