[TN-Bird] Nashville TOS Program, February 21, 2008


The Nashville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society will have its 
regular monthly meeting at Radnor Lake Visitors Center in Nashville on Thursday 
night,  February 21, 2008, beginning at 7:15 p.m.  You are invited to enjoy an 
informative and interesting program by Scott Somershoe, State Ornithologist of 
the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.   Below is a summary of his program:



State of Tennessee's Birds, by Scott Somershoe, TWRA State Ornithologist.  

Scott Somershoe will discuss a series of topics about the "State of Tennessee's 
Birds."  First, he will briefly discuss research that he has conducted in 
Louisiana, what he learned, and how he is making changes in point counts across 
Tennessee.  He is using point counts to specifically ask questions about 
management impacts on birds.  Second, he will  discuss results of Mid-winter 
Bald Eagle surveys conducted across Tennessee since 1986.  Third, he  will 
summarize a series of bird projects for birds in Tennessee, including Henslow's 
Sparrows, Eagle and Osprey monitoring, and a statewide Wading Bird survey in 
2008.  He will also show preliminary results of an analysis of the effects of 
the April 2007 freeze on birds detected on point counts. Finally, he will share 
some pictures of some birds of the Rio Grande River valley, including two 
particularly rare species  that he observed on a recent trip there.
