The Knoxville Chapter of TOS will be conducting the annual Knox County
Spring Bird Count on Saturday, 3 May 2008. Everyone is invited to
participate. I've only heard from a few people so far confirming that
they are planning to count so if you normally work this count and
haven't gotten in touch with me yet, please let me know if you are
or are not planning to count.
Several good areas are open for coverage. I particularly need a
party to cover HOUSE MOUNTAIN park as the normal crew aren't going
to be able to work it this year. This is a great spot in eastern
Knox County where we often get several warblers, tanagers, vireos
and other migrants and nesters. House Mt is the highest point
in Knox Co so there is some hiking involved but the trails are
well maintained. Let me know if you are interested.
The announcement from the KTOS newsletter is included below.

Knox County Spring Count
Due to a conflict with the TOS state meeting, the Knox County Spring
Count will be held on Saturday, 3 May 2008. As usual, parties will be
counting birds throughout Knox County on this day. All are welcome
and encouraged to participate by either joining a field party or
counting birds in your own neighborhood (if you live in Knox Co)
similar to Project Feederwatch or the Great Backyard Bird Count.
Submit your results to the compiler (Dean Edwards, 1615 Meadow Chase
Ln, Knoxville TN 37931; kde@xxxxxxx) as soon as possible after the
count. Results should include: checklist with numbers of each
species observed; location covered; time of day you started and stopped
counting; separate tallies of miles and hours travelled by foot, car,
boat, etc.; tally of miles and hours spent owling; and names of all
participants with contact information for at least one person in the
party. You may also be asked to provide documentation for any rare
or unusual species.
If you plan to participate or have any further questions, please
contact the compiler (Dean Edwards, 865-660-9701).
