Saturday, October 3, 8:00 a.m. Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery, Clinton Leader: Ron Hoff (aves7000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) This TWRA facility is a good spot for wading birds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Directions: From I-75 north of Knoxville, take Exit 122, TN 61, Norris-Clinton. Take TN 61 west towards Clinton. Go 3.8 miles and take the first left after crossing the large bridge over the Clinch River. This road is not well marked - watch for the TWRA Hatchery and Wildlife Observation Area signs. If you go through a stoplight after crossing the river, you have gone too far. Shortly after turning off of TN 61, you will arrive at the hatchery gate on the right. Meet at the parking area right inside the gate. The trip will be about 2 hours. If anybody is interested, we can then go to the watershed below Norris Dam and walk the songbird trail for a while and make a morning out of it. For more information on birding at the fish hatchery, visit http://www.tnbirds.org/birdfinding/EagleBend.htm. If you would like to carpool from Knoxville, please respond to this message offlist.
