TN-birders, Dollyann and I are leading a field trip to Kyker Bottoms in Blount Co. and the nearby Toqua area on Tellico Lake this coming Saturday. It was pointed out to me that there was no meeting time in the newsletter announcement. We will meet at the Stokely Building at 8 am. This building is on the Northeast corner of Cedar Bluff and I-40, just north of the interstate junction. It’s a 2-3 story building and we will park to carpool on the Cedar Bluff side of the parking lot there. If you choose, you can alternately meet us at Kyker Bottoms around 8:45. We’ll start at the observation tower first. Bring a snack and something for thirst if desired, but there are places for snacks and bathrooms during the shift from Kyker to Toqua. Hopefully we’ll return around 1 pm. If you need more information, I can be reached by email or 865-435-4547. Great birding, Ron Hoff Clinton, TN
