I'm looking for birders to join in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Christmas Bird Count. Either contact me by email or show up at the Sugarlands
Visitor Center (near Gatlinburg) at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, December 21.
You can register, if you'd like, on the Audubon CBC website
http://www.audubon.org/bird/cbc/
Click on "Get Involved" then "here" then show Tennessee circles in the drop
down box and then "Register Here" and fill out the necessary info.
The Smokies Count is mostly made up of hiking trails. Sometimes you'll see
very few birds while hiking, other times you'll be treated to several feeding
flocks. Weather can be different from what it is like in neighboring towns, so
be prepared for wind, rain, snow...and often beautiful sunny, but cold, days!
Ruffed Grouse is always a possibility on any trail...Black-capped Chickadees
are possible at higher elevations (but watch out for possible hybrids!)...Red
Crossbills, Pine Siskins, Red-breasted Nuthatches, Common Ravens...Maybe this
will be a good year for winter finches - it's been a while since we've had
Evening Grosbeaks. Help us find them by joining in the count.
We will then meet again at 5:00 p.m. at the Cracker Barrel in Pigeon Forge for
a compilation and hot meal. (This is the restaurant nearer the Park...there
are two in Pigeon Forge)
