NTOS will sponsor a Field Trip to the Narrows of the Harpeth State Park in Kingston Springs, Cheatham County, on Saturday 21 May. The unique topography of this area allows for views of canopy birds at almost eye level. We should expect to see and hear Northern Parulas, Yellow-throated Warblers as well as riparian species such as Louisiana Waterthrush. We may also catch a few late migrants. The path we take includes some uneven terrain and a few steep inclines. Wear appropriate footwear and bring a hiking pole if you would like. Also be aware that some of the park?s roadways and parking areas are still closed due to damage from last year?s flood. We will meet in the MTA Park and Ride in Bellevue at Hwy 70S at 7:00am and carpool from there. Once at the Narrows, we will park in the lot immediately adjacent to the Harris-Street Bridge on Cedar Hill Road. Those wishing to meet us there directly should plan to do so no later than 7:30am. If time permits we may also bird the adjacent Gossett Tract State Natural Area. This trip should last until mid day. Bring snacks and beverage.
