Please note that the Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society (KTOS) will hold a field trip this coming Saturday.

(dtrently@xxxxxxx); 865-531-1473 We will be returning in the late afternoon so bring lunch and drink. Possible species include Veery; Common Raven; Black-capped Chickadee; Blue-headed Vireo; Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Blue, Canada, and Hooded Warblers; and Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Please join us if you can. The higher elevations will offer some cooler temperatures and nice views. Bring your camera. There will not be any hiking, but perhaps a few short walks. We will also be learning about butterflies and a few dragonflies, and looking for wildflowers. I will be *leaving* from Knoxville by 7:00 a.m. Please join me for carpooling from there (usual place at Cedar Bluff Road in west Knox) David Trently Avian Pursuits Nature Tours Knoxville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
