The total of 14.896 Broad-winged Hawks (24,097 including Mendota firetower, Virginia) was the highest ever reported for Tennessee. Ospreys, Northern Harriers, and Red-sbmkred Hawks were up in 1981, from numbers re~ortedin previous years. Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons, and a Mississippi Kite were the rarest species reported from Tennessee lookouts. Hawks were reported from 15 Ten- nessee lwations, including private residences and established lookouts. A sum- mary of records from Mendota is presented in the table for purposes of continuity although these data are not included in the Tennessee totals. As stated in last year's report (Migrant 52:87-90, 198 1) the Virginia Ornithological Society has assumed responsibility for reporting these records. Precise location of each look- out is given in the station descriptions. Lookouts that were described in detail in last year's report will not be repeated this year. Codes for sky conditions and wind speed are those standardized by the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA) and can be found in last year's report.

  • 2021 July Newsletter
    Laotian Boy WE'RE BACK! When we return to meeting at Otter Creek Church, on August 3rd, it will have been 16 months since our last in-person meeting. To put some context behind that, I have since added a grandson who is now 8 months old! We had approximately 30 Zoom meetings during the stretch. More importantly, a Covid vaccine was developed, which makes a return possible. Photo By It will be a welcome return, for sure! I have Claude Velasco spoken with many of you at outings and via email, so I know how much anticipation exists. As we get closer to the return date, you will receive reminders of changes we're implementing, both onsite and online. For now, we'll take the month of July off from the Main Meeting and Mini-Clinic. Photography Basics and the July Outing will still be held. In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day and enjoy time with friends and family. We'll see you soon! Jeremy Teran BPG President P a g e | 1 Member Spotlight I’ve always been a very visual individual, paying attention to the world around me. As the years passed, I naturally progressed along paths that satisfied that interest, from being a day trip leader for the Sierra Club to my career as an academic and community pathologist (now retired). Claude and Brie Pathology, in particular, honed my attention to visual details. Not surprisingly, a love of photography has accompanied me along my life journey. I purchased my first camera in high school; a match-needle Yashica.

On the day of the historic vote, Rep. Harry T. Burn surprised everyone when he voted “yes” for suffrage. He placed the tie-breaking vote after receiving a letter from his mother encouraging him to “Hurray and vote for suffrage… Be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the ‘rat’ in ratification.” By doing so, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment and women gained the right to vote nationwide.

  • Birds of Reelfoot Lake and Nearby Locations
    Birds of Reelfoot Lake State Park 2595 Hwy 21 E, Tiptonville, Tennessee 38079 / 731-253-9652 Reelfoot Lake is one of the best destinations for bird-watching in Tennessee. The 280-acre Reelfoot Lake State Park is part of a complex of public lands that include the Reelfoot Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Reelfoot State Wildlife Management Area. The Reelfoot Lake area includes a mix of bottomland hardwood forest, cypress swamp, marsh, agricultural fields, and open water habitats. Over 200 species of birds have been reported from the area. During the winter, Reelfoot Lake is home to numerous bald eagles, 1000s of ducks of many different species and 100s of American white pelicans. Experienced park naturalists lead daily bald eagle and waterfowl tours and the annual Reelfoot Eagle Festival in February is a bird watching destination. During spring and fall migration, watch for migrating songbirds and shorebirds. The state park offers a variety of birding canoe floats and boat tours throughout the year. Responsible Birding - Do not endanger the welfare of birds. - Tread lightly and respect bird habitat. - Silence is golden. - Do not use electronic sound devices to attract birds during nesting season, May-July. - Take extra care when in a nesting area. - Always respect the law and the rights of others, violators subject to prosecution. - Do not trespass on private property. - Avoid pointing your binoculars at other people or their homes. - Limit group sizes in areas that are not conducive to large crowds.

    To the Scouts and Scouters of the Chickasaw Council: The Order of the Arrow is a program based on service and camping and it is our duty to promote camping within the council. This book is constructed to inform the units of camping locations in an effort to increase camping experience of units in the Chickasaw Council. This book is an effective reference when being used to plan your unit’s outings. Inside you will find a list of State Parks located around the Mid-South and a number of other locations for a long weekend or summer trip. There is a chart of the available facilities for each State Park along with directions on how to get there. There is also a list of websites that can come in handy when planning your outdoor adventure. Camping is one of the greatest experiences in Scouting, yet not many scouts get the chance. Please use this book to help Scouts experience the joy of an outdoor adventure.
