This Saturday, 8/18, NTOS will offer a field trip to Peeler Park. Peeler is Metropolitan Nashville's newest park which just opened in June. It's located in Madison, just north of Nashville at the east end of Neelys Bend Rd., which runs off of Gallatin Pk. The park has 1.5 miles of level, paved trails, plus some dirt side trails and a horse path. Another trail and boardwalk will be added this fall. It's mostly bottom land running along the Cumberland River with large open fields, tree lines, and some woods. It seemed very promising as a new birding destination for the Nashville area when Phillip Casteel and I birded there in June. We'll meet at the Adventure Science Museum lower parking lot and leave there at 7:00 A.M. If you'd rather meet us at the park, be at the Peeler Park parking lot at 7:20. This trip will last just a few hours. If you have any questions, please contact me offline.
