The Knoxville Chapter of TOS will hold our annual Spring Count this coming Sunday, 25 April 2004. The coverage area for the count includes all of Knox Co., TN. I'm sure we'll have several people out counting but, to date, I've only received ONE confirmation. I do know that several folks are going to be out of town that weekend so we need someone to cover some key areas including Forks of the River WMA Ijam's Nature Center Seven Islands Park Cove Island (Sage Thrasher spot, restricted entry) Third Creek Greenway Cherokee Woodlot near UT hospital Westbridge Industrial Park Pellissippi State Campus Turkey Creek Wetlands Sharps' Ridge? Chuck Nicholson usually covers this area but Chuck has been out of town a lot and I haven't heard whether or not he'll be in town this weekend (I just emailed Chuck last night so sorry Chuck, don't mean to sound impatient). If you would like to help out, please contact me as soon as possible so we can make sure these areas get covered. I'd also like to hear from some of the other regular participants confirming that you'll be working your normal areas. As always, we also welcome backyard birders who would like to count birds around their homes... as long as you live in Knox Co.
