The Chattanooga TOS chapter is sponsoring a field trip.
From the newsletter
SAT., MARCH 10: PINKY'S POINT
TO VIEW OSPREYS AND THEIR NEST
MEET: 7:45AM AT CHESTER FROST PARK BOAT
RAMP IF YOU WANT TO CAR POOL/CARAVAN,
LEADER: BOB EDENS (423) 991-3196 FOR INFO.
Now that a pair of Osprey have come back to our area,
we'll be watching the Osprey nesting platform in the
middle of the river and looking for woodpeckers and
other birds in the immediate area. Bald Eagles can
sometimes be seen here too. Anyone who wishes to move
from the viewing area can walk the dirt and gravel roads
of the point and find many sparrow species, hermit
thrushes and other resident and migrant species.
DIRECTIONS TO PINKY'S POINT: Take Hixson Pike
north, following signs to Chester Frost Park. Drive
through Chester Frost Park (unless you are meeting us at
the boat ramp on the left side of the road). Continue over
the next hill and you'll eventually see a slough off the
lake on your left. Take the first road to the left after
you pass this slough (Nelson Spur Rd.) and that road will
dead-end at the gates to Pinky's Point. Go through gates,
and turn left when you get half way to the bottom of the hill.
Look for birders' cars to find the Osprey viewing area.
