The bird enthusiasts at the Roan Mountain Naturalist Rally managed to find
and identify 92 species of birds between the three birded areas at the
Rally. The low elevation birding was done at Sycamore Shoals State Park in
Elizabethton, TN, The high elevation birding was done in Hampton Creek Cove
Nature Area around 3100ft elevation and the usual stops up Hwy 143 to the
top of Roan Mountain. The elevation at Carver's Gap is 5500ft+. All
locations are in Carter County, TN. The complete list and a brief legend is
below. This list is not concerned with numbers of birds (unless noted),
rather the presence of the bird on mountain (and/or in the park). It was a
good two days of birding!
