A final report for The 2011 TOS Shady Valley Foray, which was held 10-12
June,
is in your copy of THE MIGRANT (Sept. 2011 edition) which has just arrived
or
soon will arrive in your mail if you are a member of the Tennessee
Ornithological
Society.
It is the lead article published in this Vol. 82, No. 3 publication which is
the quarterly
journal devoted to Tennessee birds. It occupies 14 pages of print. Many
such
journals are long delayed in publication and will explain the 2011 cover
date.
The event was planned, sponsored and conducted by the Bristol Bird Club and
the Herndon Chapters of TOS, with cooperation of The Nature Conservancy.
Shady Valley is a high elevation valley (2800 ft.) ringed by mountains of
3400 to 4200 ft. elevation on three sides, drained by Beaverdam Creek
through
a deep shady gorge on the north end. Shady Valley is in Johnson Co.,
the northeastern-most county in Tenn.
On the Foray, 23 observers covered the main valley floor, the gorge, and
surrounding mountains (via the Appalachian Trail and Iron Mtn. Trail).
94 species were found.
Participants were: Jim Anderson, Rob Biller, Kevin Bowden, Kathleen Britts,
Ruth Clark, Mary Clark, Wallace Coffey, Carolyn Coffey, Jennifer Connors,
Ken Dubke, Glen Eller, Sylvia Fraust, Betty Hamilton, Tom Hunter, Nata
Jackson,
Rick Knight, Roy Knispel, Brookie Potter, Jean Potter, Mike Sanders,
Michele Sparks, Michele von Bergen and Melinda Welton.
