Bristol Area Birders:

At this moment Jeff Wilson, the Ol' Coot from Memphis, has just
arrived at the Slagle Creek State Natural Area in Steele Creek
Park at Bristol to search for a Ruffed Grouse.

He is joined by Park Naturalist Kevin Hamed.  Steele Creek
Park and the natural area are located inside of Bristol Tennessee
and cover 2,000 acres of rolling woodland hills in the Ridge and
Valley region of Northeast Tennssee.

Hamed has established their prospect at 75% chance of finding
a grouse before 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time.  That's pressure, Kevin!
Way to go. 

The sun is just now coming over the southeast ridges, the temperature
at 54 degrees and clear.

At this hour he is in search of species No. 285 in his drive to reach
290 species by Monday.  His annual list is at 284. This year's list
goal is 300.

His East Tennessee quest is launched!
