The Russell Co Bird Club will be hosting a field trip to Hampton Creek
Cove Natural Area, Roan Mtn State Park and Carvers Gap, in Carter Co Tn. This
trip is usually very productive and yields high elevation nesting birds such
as Canada Warblers, Alder Flycatchers, Vesper Sparrows, along with
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Golden-winged Warblers and a host of other great
species. If you would like to attend this trip we will be leaving from
Tinseltown Theater parking lot off Exit 7 on I-81 at 7:00am. If you would
like to meet us at Hampton Creek Cove we should arrive around 8:20 in the
parking. The fields are usually very wet so bring appropriated foot wear or a
change of shoes. A bathroom is not available at Hampton Creek Cove, but we
will be birding Picnic Area #1 in the state park and it does have regular
facilities. A pit toilet is available at Carvers Gap. I would suggest packing
a lunch but a subway is close by in the town of Roan. If time permits we may
bird Quarry Bog, Orchard Bog and School Yard Springs in Shady Valley Tn. Last
year we had 2 Virginia Rails at Quarry Bog, and coming back along HWY 421 we
added Blackburninan and Prairie Warblers. We hope to see ya, all are invited
to attend. If you have any question just ask.
