On May 15th, I am hosting the Greeneville chapter of TOS (birds) at my farm.
If anyone would like to join us, you are most welcome. I can email directions.
I am one hour east of Knoxville. There are various habitats here, and we
should see/hear 55 - 75 species.
Birding from 8:00 am to noon (earlier if you can make it), light lunch by the
creek in my yard. Afternoon: birders may go on to Joachim Bible Refuge (about
9 miles from here) or Rankin Bottoms (about 10 miles from here). I will stay
and look for butterflies and odes, or play in the creek looking for ode larvae,
etc. RSVP with an approximate number so I can plan lunch.
For a moth night, we could schedule the weekend of May 22 or Jun 5. This would
be a camp-out overnight, looking for mostly nocturnal moths. Perhaps daytime
forays for diurnal ones. Who wants to sleep? LOL

Jean, I have been thinking that it would be fun to get us moth-ers together,
and trying to think of places for this to happen. Thank you for offering your
place for this. Maybe we can plan for a gathering soon.
It would be interesting to schedule a moth gathering at least once a month in
the East Tennessee area. Maybe starting at Jean's place, then in the
Chattanooga area, and then in the Johnson City area, where Larry McDaniel is
seeing so many neat moths. Somewhere that is available for nighttime
lighting, and camping, would be great.
Jean, maybe we can schedule this for the next couple of weekends, and then
hear from other moth-ers for the other areas....

Excellent idea, Rich. That would sure help us newbies with ID.
I would love to have a group of moth-ers for an overnight here at my place.
Birders, butterfliers and dragonfliers also welcome. Some people who are on
this list have been here, as well as the Greene County bird/butterfly group.
We have two guest bedrooms, and lots of room for campers and tents. We are
one hour from Johnson City or Knoxville, 1 1/2 hr from Oak Ridge, 3 1/2 hours
from Nashville.
Rankin Bottoms is ten miles from our house.

Larry I been meaning to give you all a suggestion. Has anyone thought of
creating a web-site of your photos of Tennesse Moths with dates and counties
with all the great photos such as yours and Audreys and others that could be
combined in Family groups?
Have any of you mothers have ever met each other? I am not referring to
just women with children if you know what I mean.
