KTOS will hold a field trip to the Ft Loudon Dam area and beaver ponds. We will meet at 8:00am at the Tellico Canal Bathhouse/parking area adjacent to the canal that connects Tellico and Fort Loudon Reservoirs. This area is between the Ft Loudon Dam Bridge and the canal bridge on US 321. The exit says Tellico Village, Route 444(Tellico Parkway). The bathhouse and parking area are immediately south of 444. There are major beaver pond areas to visit as well as open water areas of the reservoirs and tail waters. There may be some waterfowl in the area, herons, gulls, swallows, and early spring warblers. Bald Eagle is likely. We should finish up before noon. Walking is "moderate".
