This Saturday, November 23, the Herndon Bird Club will have its field trip to 
waterfowl areas in Sullivan County.  Meet at the Weir Dam on the South Holston 
River at 8:00 a.m.  There will be some hiking around Osceola Island and 
observations from the South Holston Lake Dam overlook nearby.  Participants 
will have lunch at a restaurant in the area and continue with birding during 
part of the afternoon at Musick's Campground and Middlebrook Lake.  Take in as 
much of the trip as you like.  The weather predictions for the day, admittedly, 
aren't the best--22F in the morning, high of 49F and 40% probability of 
precipitation during the morning sometime.  Bring some warm clothes, as it can 
be windy at the Dam overlook and at Musick's Campground.

The next club meeting is Tuesday, December 3,  at 7:00 p.m. at the Science 
Building at Milligan College in Elizabethton.   Come up the entry road into the 
College, turn right just past the Gregory Center (on the right) into the 
parking lot.  The Science Building is straight ahead as you come into the 
parking lot.  The meeting will be in a room on the right just as you enter the 
Science Building.  

 The program presentation will be given by club treasurer Kim Stroud on the 
birding she and Joe McGuiness did on a trip to California last May.  They went 
from San Francisco to Santa Cruz to Monterey to Yosemite and back to San 
Francisco.  

Included on the agenda for the December meeting are the planning of the two 
Club Christmas counts: Elizabethton Count on Saturday, December 14 and Roan 
Mountain Count on Sunday, December 15, and the planning of the Christmas Party. 
 Kim's presentation will precede the Christmas count and party planning.  These 
Christmas counts will be compiled at the Christmas Party.  Club calendars 
should be available at the meeting.

Prior to the meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3,  some members will meet at Bellacino's 
Italian Restaurant on South Roan St. (Food City Parking Lot) in Johnson City 
around 5:30 p.m. to eat and socialize before the meeting.  ALL are INVITED and 
WELCOME to the meeting and to Bellacino's. 

If you have any questions about the field trip or the December meeting, please 
feel free to send me email or call.
