Birding in East Tennessee

Whew!

It's been quite a while since I last made a post. Since the time between the last post (which welcomes everyone to the new look of this blog) and this post, the site to which this blog is attached to was hacked and the whole compound. Compound of Technobohemia.net, a Johnson City based web site that incorporates a lot of East Tennessee Culture, History, locally made videos and even a radio program or two etc, but I happily digress. Oh, did I mention that a good guy runs it? A real good guy. He keeps me in the birding blog business every time there is trouble...

I don't think I am going to try and catch up all that has happened between the last post and this one (except for maybe a few things), but use this as a re-jumping off post.

To conclude this one, I am going to mention a few upcoming birding opportunities...

Dec 16 - Elizabethton Christmas Bird Count (CBC) - contact Rick Knight
Dec 17 - Roan Mountain CBC - Contact Rick Knight in Johnson City
Dec 30 - Glade Spring, VA CBC - Contact Ron Harrington - in Bristol VA

These are Christmas Birds counts that date back for over 100 years now that Audubon sponsors. More can be found about these counts by going to www.audubon.net.

Results from all these East Tennessee / SW Virginia counts will be found here as they unfold.
