Preliminary results of a 100-stop BBS conducted in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, Kentucky and Tennessee, 4-14 June 2002 are available at the following website: http://iweb.tntech.edu/sstedman/BBS%20Comparison.htm Those interested in possible effects on bird populations of the southern pine beetle outbreak of 1999-2002 will note that Pine Warbler numbers in the BSF have thus far not been at all affected by the outbreak, but numbers of some other species changed this year, though whether in response to loss of evergreens or not is hard to determine.
