Area Birders - I have had some positive responses concerning Shady Valley. So far, the majority are saying that the 21st is the best day. So mark in your calendars the 21st for Shady Valley CBC. I will be at the Bristol Bird Club meeting on December 17 with all the details I have. Also at that meeting we will discuss the details for the Bristol CBC (DEC 29) and the Glade Spring CBC (Jan 4). I am sorry to those who have a conflict with the day I have chosen. I wish I could be complaint with everyone - but at this time of the year it is hard plan for everyone (even though I want to). I will update the BBC LISTSERV on the details of the Shady Valley / Mountain City CBC meeting times when I know them better myself. If they are calling for inclement weather (Shady Valley / Mountain City is above 2500') I will put out a message on BBC LISTSERV to keep everyone informed. Maybe I can come with a special buzz wave file (a la schools) and we can turn the BBC LISTSERV into a local CBC snow watch Hope to see you at a CBC this season - I plan to do Shady Valley / Mountain City, Bristol, Roan Mt, Elizabethton, (and possibly Glade Spring), although I am going through some tough times right now myself and possibly will be looking to move apartments next month which may limit my CBC plans (Shady Valley / Mountain City is definitly a go though!)...happy, happy, joy, joy. Best to everyone this holiday season...
