Members of the Bristol Bird Club invite you to a
homecoming reception for Rick Knight, who has 
recently been involved in the Pear River search
for the most rare Ivory-billed Woodpecker, one
of the most historic bird searches in American 
history.  The talk will be held Tuesday, March 19.

It will be followed by a color slide presentation
about the search and Knight's involvement.  It
is his first such talk presented to the public.
 
The Bristol Bird Club meets at 7:30 p.m. 
(Tues. March 19), at the ETSU Bristol Center 
on the Volunteer Parkway in Bristol, TN near
Chaco's.  You turn between the soft cloth car
wash and the former KFC restaurant building.
Drive straight up the hills to the parking lot with
the globed lights.  Go in the front door and down
the hallway to the right.  A sign will show the
way.
 
Rick was a member of the Zeiss team that 
searched for 30 good-weather days in the 
swamps at the Pearl River in Louisiana.  It
was coordinated by the famous Louisiana
State University Museum of Natural Science
and assisted by the Cornell Laboratory of
Ornithology.

Several of our members are hard at work
preparing a special cake, beverages, snacks 
and great reception and program.

The program will follow the brief reception and
will allow those who have to drive some distance
to be home at a reasonable hour.

This is a really special opportunity to hear
and see from one of our birders who has been
involved in the largest media-covered bird
activity ever in America.  

The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, London
Times, CBS News, U.S.A. Today and many hundreds
of other news media covered and reported on the
event during January and February of this year.

Rick was one of about six or seven persons to 
take part in this search.

Hope to see you there.  E-mail Wallace Coffey at
jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx if you need information or
assistance.
