Bristol Area Birders: Ron Harrington and I have spent a portion of the last couple of days providing information and interviews for Jack Kestner who writes a column in the Sunday edition of the Bristol Herald Courier. Kestner has written about birds in his popular column for years. He was recently contacted by Malcolm Sprinkle (South Holston Lake, across from Musick's Campground) and told that no birds were coming to Sprinkle's feeder this winter and he was concerned. Ron and I provided Kestner copies of the Bristol and Glade Spring Christmas Bird Count data and talked about certain aspects of birds at winter feeders. I know all of you will want to get a copy of the Sunday newspaper and read what Kestner has for his long-time loyal readers. We also want to welcome Kestner as a new subscriber to Bristol-Birds Net. Let's go birding....
