Dear TOS, We had scheduled Steve Hilty to speak at the spring meeting of the Tennessee Ornithological Society in Knoxville, Apr 30-May 2. Unfortunately, Steve has had to cancel. I am happy to announce that state ornithologist Scott Somershoe has graciously agreed to take his place. We look forward to hearing about the progress Scott has made with the Tennessee Watchable Wildlife website (http://www.tnwatchablewildlife.org/). Field trips for the weekend are still being finalized. The tentative Saturday list is Sharps Ridge; Cove Lake State Park and Cross Mountain; the upper Smokies (Alum Cave, Sugarlands, Chimney Tops, Newfound Gap); or Kyker Bottoms. The tentative Sunday list is: Sharps Ridge; Seven Islands, which will include a *banding demonstration*; or Three Bend Wildlife Refuge in Oak Ridge. If your primary motive for attending had been to hear Steve Hilty, KTOS will understand if you need to cancel. We simply ask that you contact us by April 15 in order to receive a full refund.
