Saturday's Bristol Bird Club Watauga Lake Outing had a neat turnout with nice 
hospitality and fellowship at the lakeside home of Bob, Ellen and Charlie 
Parker.

Birders enjoyed a relaxed afternoon at the beautiful home, including screened 
porch, long open deck, spacious and air conditioned seating areas throughout 
the house.  

Linda Newman especially noted the amazing woven baskets which had been made by 
Ellen Parker's mother.  There were several reflecting wonderful art and carfts 
skills.  

Birders also enjoyed birding from the Parker's boat and as much water time as 
desired.  

A welcomed late-afternoon rain could not be better timed.  The cool air coming 
through the trees had every seat on the screened porch occupied.  Everyone 
enjoyed the rain and good chat. 

Bob Parker was the chef, cooking from the deck, and the covered-dish spread was 
the usual delicious food of the BBC gang.  

Ellen Parker left nothing unturned for the day.  Everything was perfect.  Larry 
McDaniel gave the Parker's a framed bird photo for their hospitality. 

Many birders got to better know their fellow club members as a lazy day moved 
on.  The outing concluded at 8:45 p.m. but Chris O'Bryan stayed to spend the 
night so he and Charlie Parker could water ski and jet ski on Sunday morning.
