The Elizabethton Fall Bird Count was held on 25 September by the Lee &
Lois Herndon Chapter of TOS. 25 observers in 8 parties covered parts of
Carter, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, & Washington counties in northeast
Tennessee.
We found 124 species of birds. The average number over the last 25
years is 122 species and the all-time high was 137 species in 1993.
Notable species were:
