Knoxville area birds have two field trips to enjoy this weekend. The first is
a Saturday evening woodcock walk and owl prowl at Forks of the River WMA.Â
The second is a Sunday morning visit to Kyker Bottoms WMA. Both trip will be
lead by David Trently. Details below:
Saturday, March 19, 7:00 p.m.
Woodcock Walk & Owl Prowl, Forks of the River WMA
Leader: David Trently (Home 865-531-1473 ,
Work 865-974-8664, NatureTours@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx )
Meet at the parking area of Forks of the River (past Ijams Nature
Center, first left onto McClure Lane, end of road). We'll start with
a review of the mating display of the American Woodcock, and
discuss the plan for viewing the birds. It's about a half mile walk
to the viewing area. Please dress appropriately for after dark
temperatures, a potentially muddy trail and bring a flashlight. On
the return walk, we will listen for owls.
Sunset is at 7:48, and we'll probably be back at the parking lot
after 9:00.

Kyker Bottoms WMA, Blount Co:

Leader: David Trently (Home 865-531-1473,
Work 865-974-8664, NatureTours@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx )
Meet at the paved parking lot on Big Gully Road at 8:30. (I'll be
out there earlier- if you want to go early, contact me). Weâ??ll start
out birding the brushy areas there, then wander the nearby fields
and wetlands looking for early spring migrants, sparrows, hopefully
rails, and wrens, too. Eventually weâ??ll make our way to the
area near the barn where weâ??ll have more chances at water birds.
We should finish around noon, though if there is interest, we can
also visit the 'back entrance' on Lanier Road. (bring lunch if
interested in this option).
Waterproof boots suggested.
