Bio-Blitz



One last note about the Bio-Blitz this weekend and then I'll leave you all alone
for another year.  

I've been getting quite a few emails and phone calls about people coming up for
the Bio-Blitz at Price Park here on the Parkway.  Looks like we should have a
pretty good turnout.  

The forecast is looking better than we usually have for our Bio-Blitz.  Chance
of isolated afternoon showers Friday and Saturday.

Fall bird migration is starting up here in the mountains.  Blackbirds are
flocking and some of the warblers are leaving and others are coming through. 
Lots of juveniles flying about.  I've seen quite a few butterflies over the last
couple days. 

Hotels in Boone are just about full because of weekend activities in Boone and
Blowing Rock.  There may be rooms available as people cancel out at the last
minute.  Otherwise Lenoir is only about 20 minutes off the mountain.

Hope to see many of you up here this weekend.

Bob
