Bristol Area Birders: Don't forget that the Bristol Bird Club meets a week earlier this month. The December meeting is tonight (Tuesday, Dec. 9) at 7:30 p.m. at the ETSU Bristol Campus on the Volunteer Parkway behind Chaco's and the carwash. We have three Christmas Bird Counts to organize: Shady Valley Dec. 20; Bristol Dec. 28; Glade Spring Jan 3. Our monthly dinner before the meeting will be held at the Mad Greek Restaurant 3.2 miles south of the ETSU-Bristol campus towards Bristol Motor Speedway and Johnson City. Dinner is on your own. We usually gather about 6 p.m. to enjoy the fun and fellowship of catching up on whatever else in the world you enjoy. Those attending tonight's meeting will receive maps of count areas, spreadsheets of past count years, be able to sign up for parties for the individual counts, pay registration fees for counts, pay BBC dues for the coming year, make plans for starting times and places to meet, get field cards and have a good time. Rob Biller will compile results for the Shady Valley count. Bristol is compiled by Richard Lewis and Glade Spring by Ron Harrington. This is a really fun working meeting and we usually have a great turnout. See ya for dinner at THE GREEK at 6 p.m. and at ETSU-Bristol for the BBC meeting at ETSU-Bristol. Take care..... Let's go birding....
