[TN-Bird] Field trip to Kyker Bottoms

Blount County, east Tennessee

This coming Saturday there will be a field trip with the Knoxville Chapter of 
the Tennessee Ornithological Society to KYKER BOTTOMS in Blount County, TN.
We will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the upper lot (the one with the observation
deck, with the big pond across the street).
Charlie Muise will be the leader.
Directions: - From Knoxville, take Hwy. 129 south.  Approximately 4 miles 
south of Maryville, Hwy. 129 turns left at a traffic light (RiteStop Market on 
the left).  Continue to follow Hwy. 129 approximately 8 miles to Garland Road 
(WMA sign at intersection). Turn right on Garland Road. Continue on Garland to 
stop sign and turn right. A short distance along this road is the parking area 
on the right.
There is no planned meeting place in Knoxville for carpooling. I may not be 
going, but I will help with organizing for anyone who desires a ride with 
someone else. Contact me at dtrently@xxxxxxx if you plan to go and want a 
ride. As others contact me, I will try to help coordinate rides.

Some of us will choose to slog through the thick brier-laced vegetation, while 
others can stick to the levee.  Sturdy footwear and clothes that can get dirty 
are suggested, and clothes that can withstand small thorns may be desirable.  
Some folks may even choose knee boots.
This is a good time of year for LeConte's Sparrow.
We will focus on sparrows and any waterfowl that are about. Hopefully the 
Loggerhead Shrike we've seen the last few years will have returned by then.

Knoxville, TN
