Bristol Birders:
Jeff Wilson, the Ol' Coot from Memphis, countinued his
search for annual list birds today, climbing into the
mountains of Northeast Tennessee.
He reported, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, that he had not
found additional annual list birds today but was having
a nice run on warblers.
Much of today was spent at Roan Mountain in Carter
County and by evening his search party was at
Buffalo Mountain near Johnson City. It is has been
overcast all day.
Last evening he absolutely dazzled the 50 birders
who attended the Bristol Bird Club banquet with
wonderful bird photography, humor and useful
tips and information about many special species
seen in his birding.
When he was introduced to the birders, they were told
that during the past 15 years (which includes 1,560
weekend days) that the Ol' Coot has only missed
birding 13 days (12 at the time of his mother's death).
He frequently travels about 300 miles birding
each weekend and sometimes up to 700 miles
in a weekend as he travels to hot birding spots
in West Tennessee.
