Sunday, July 9, 7 AM Field trip to Cherohala Skyway, Tenn and NC Leader: David Trently; dtrently@xxxxxxx Plan to depart at 7:00 a.m. from the Stokely Building (320 N Cedar Bluff Rd, west Knoxville), or meet about 8:00 a.m. at the Hardees in Tellico Plains (Monroe County, TN). For this trip, we will try to get to the North Carolina section as early as possible, making just two or three stops in Tennessee on the way. We usually get to North Carolina later in the day and so miss a lot of potentially good birding. We'll get to our farthest point and begin working our way back. There will also be the option of heading home via the Joyce Kilmer Forest. Bring lunch! Target birds include Least Flycatcher; Common Raven; Black-capped Chickadee; Brown Creeper; Winter Wren; Veery; Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, Blackburnian and Canada Warblers; Rose-breasted Grosbeak and, hopefully, Red Crossbill.
