The state TOS meeting conflicts with the traditional date of the Knox Co Fall Count this year which means we will lose some of our normal participants. Please contact me if you would be interested in participating. Announcement is below. Thanks, Dean Edwards Knoxville, TN Knox County Fall Count The annual Knox County Fall Bird Count will be held on Sunday, 29 September 2013. Everyone is encouraged to participate by joining a group in the field or (for those living in Knox County) counting birds in your own backyard and neighborhood. For more information on how you can participate, if you would like to join a group, or would like some suggestions on places to count, please contact the compiler, Dean Edwards (see below for contact information). It is also very important to contact the compiler if you normally work the count but are unable to do so this year so that we can get someone else to cover your territory. Please submit your count results to the compiler as soon as possible. There are no fees for participating in this count. Please note, your results should include all of the following: - a checklist including the tally for each species identified - names of all participants with contact information for at least one person - location(s) you counted - time of day you counted - number of hours spent counting by foot, by car, and/or by boat plus hours spent feeder/backyard watching and owling - number of miles covered while counting by foot, by car and/or by boat and miles covered while owling - documentation including written details and photos (if possible) of any rare species.
