Herndon (Elizabethton) TOS Whip-poor-will Field Trip Tuesday 24 MAY 2005 The "Whip Trip" scheduled for Tuesday, May 24 has had a slight change of itinerary. Instead of meeting to eat at the River's Edge Restaurant on TN Hwy 81 for supper, the meal will be at Maple Grove Restaurant at Exit 23 on Interstate 26. (The River's Edge will be closed on Tuesday). Those wishing to eat should arrive at 6 pm. After supper, at 7 pm, the group will meet any late arrivals at the Forest Service building. Go just past Maple Grove to the traffic light, turn left at the light, and then right into the Forest Service parking lot, where we will organize a carpool. We expect to return from the mountain probably no sooner than 10:30 pm. --------------------------ATTENTION ELIZABETHTON MEMBERS---------------------------------- The last minute change in the meeting place necessitates the following request. If you are an Elizabethton Club member, please help spread the word to our "non-computerized" members, and please e-mail or if necessary call me to let me know whether or not you or a "non-comp" that you know are coming. dnldhlt at aol.com (423) 914-5862 Members of other bird clubs are welcome, as is the general public. Be advised the trip lasts until after sundown, and is on unpaved roads in National Forest. Please be prepared for darkness and cooler night-time temperatures, and if you plan on driving in the carpool, make sure your vehicle is fully fueled. If you have only heard but never seen a Whip-poor-will, this trip is highly recommended, and even more fun for us repeat offenders. Prairie Warblers, Scarlet Tanagers, Wood Thrushes and/or Veeries, various owls, and the occasional varmint sighting are all likely. We hope you can join us.
