Herndon Bird Club "Warbler Warm-up" field trip on Saturday, Sept. 19 to
Carver's Gap. Target arrival time to Carver's Gap is 7:30 a.m. to get a
good early start on viewing migrants coming into and around the Gap.
Members will bird around the Gap probably until about 11 a.m. and work
their way down toward Roan Mountain village for lunch when hungry (or if
the weather drives us off the gap). If you would like to carpool from
Johnson City, please let me know, and we can arrange to meet and go
together.
Fall 5-county Bird Count Saturday, Sept. 26. Group leaders, areas, and
current participants will be listed in a separate forthcoming email.
