The Bristol Bird Club held its January meeting Tuesday,
January 20, 2015, and enjoyed a neat and entertaining program
of show-and-tell which included several members showing
slide presentations of birding trips and fun birds from recent years.
Bill Grigsby organized the program with photos sent by
members in advance of the meeting.
Grigsby also reported that the Kingsport Christmas
Bird Count preliminary total is 76 species with a final count
to be reported soon.
John Moyle gave a report on the BBC's Hiwassee
Sandhill Crane Festival field trip. He said the group saw about 1,000
Sandhill Cranes, down considerably from the number seen
last year.
Moyle announced that the club's January 31
field trip would end his responsibilities for field trips.
Birders were reminded of the Feb. 13-16 Backyard
Bird Count and upcoming Feeder Watch events and
encouraged to take part in both national events.
President Lois Cox also announced in detail
arrangements, schedules, accommodations and registration
for the Tennessee Ornithological Society's 100th Anniversary
Celebration and spring meeting at Montgomery Bell State
Park April 30 - May 3. The park is west of Nashville. She
noted that Dr. Andy Jones would be a presenter on the
Friday program.
Grigsby made a motion to pass the hat and take up
money to sponsor a mile marker for the Operation
Migration Whooping Crane project which will lead
birds by small ultralight aircraft from Wisconsin
to Florida. Members donated $137 in cash.
About 20 person attended the meeting with 10
having dinner at the Mad Greek Restaurant before
the meeting.
