Saturday, April 1, 7:30 a.m. Kyker Bottoms, Blount County Leader: Charlie Muise (865-977-8429; cmmbirds@xxxxxxxxx) Meet at the upper (paved) parking lot at 7:30 a.m. For those who are willing, be prepared to wander "off the beaten path" into the wet areas and tall vegetation, to look for rails and late migrating sparrows. Dress appropriately! Others may choose to stay back and hope to see birds from a less messy distance. Some breeders will certainly be back by then, but others, like Willow Flycatcher, are just an outside possibility. Charlie is likely to be there before dawn, to try to see/hear Barn Owls, and others are welcome to join him then. But we won't move much, not wanting to have too much impact on the owls or the area in general. (some of us will also be looking at butterflies and dragonflies) Everyone is welcome to join us.
