Are you still trying to decide what your plans are this weekend?  How about
taking some time out to go birding at Rankin Bottoms!  

The Lee and Lois Herndon Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society is
hosting a field trip on Saturday, August 27, 2005 to Rankin Bottoms at
Douglas Lake.  Participants should meet at Johnson City K-Mart (Gardening
Center Parking Lot) at 1:00pm.  From K-Mart, we will carpool to our
destination.

Recent sightings in the area include several species of shorebirds, White
Ibis, Great Egret, Little Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Caspian Tern, and
Prothonotary Warbler.  A Rankin Bottoms excursion can be quite "hot and
muddy", so dress accordingly.

If you have any questions you can contact me (Tom McNeil) at 423-360-2970.

Hope to see you there! 

Tom
