At the February meeting, we set a field trip to Kingsport birding areas
for Saturday, February 20. Meet at the Ft. Patrick Henry Dam parking
lot above the Dam at 8:00 a.m. We will bird below the Dam, along the
TVA trail downstream from the dam starting at the parking lot at the end
of Wesley Rd., and spots along the Kingsport Greenbelt. For those who
wish to stay for lunch, we will likely eat at the Riverfront Seafood
Company on Netherland Inn Rd.
The Club will have its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 1, at 7
p.m. in the Science Building at Milligan College. To get there, come up
the entry road into Milligan 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.
Agenda items include report on the cooperation with the Carter County
and Elizabethton Parks Boards to promote birding in Carter County,
additional consideration of By-Laws, field trip report and planning, and
discussion of the club banquet and picnic.
The program will be a presentation by club member Chris Soto on Fauna
Photographed on her Sabbatical to Costa Rica
