The meeting last night at ETSU- Bristol was attended by 23 members and
guests. Don Miller of the Greeneville chapter of the Tennessee
Ornithological Society gave an overview of the work he is doing on a book
which is to be an annotated checklist of Hamblen and five adjascent
counties. In reviewing the scope of the book, Don did a great job of
listing many locations for birding in Hamblen, Greene, Hawkins, Grainger,
Cocke, and Jefferson counties --- a large area with some interesting
habitat. The book will be a valuable resource on this area.
There will be no BBC field trip this weekend as originally scheduled. The
trip to visit Standifer Gap Marsh and Brainerd Levee has been postponed.
Upcoming BBC activities are the Natural Tunnel SP Birding Weekend (May
20th-21st), BBC Picnic (July 1st), BBC/Wards Feed Store FunFest Bird Walks
at Bays Mountain Park (July 15th and 22nd).
Several BBC members will be manning a booth at the Abingdon Arbor Day and
Earth Day Celebration at Veteran Memorial Park (April 23rd, 2 PM to 4 PM).
Anyone interested in helping with the Herndon Spring Bird Count on April
29th, contact Rick Knight.
