The NABA Roan Mtn., TN Butterfly Count will be held Saturday, July 16, 2011. We will meet at 10 am at Roan Mtn. State Park in Tennessee, by the big green waterwheel at the Visitors' Center. The count circle's center is at Carvers Gap. I will lead the group from the Visitors' Center to Hampton Creek Cove State Natural Area for the morning, then after a lunch break at Mad Martha's Restaurant in Roan Mtn. Village, we will proceed to the Rhododendron Gardens above Carvers Gap. As weather at the top is often unpredictably different from the valley, there are several alternate sites we can choose from should the Gardens be unproductive. Anyone wishing to count as a separate party in other locations may contact me to coordinate our efforts. My cellphone # is 423 483 0470. The NABA fee is $3 per participant. If we are rained out I will post a make up date which will most likely be the following Sat., JUL 23rd. Don Holt Johnson City, TN
