[TN-Bird] TOS Spring Meeting Field Trips

I just wanted to give everybody a chance to view ahead of time the  field 
trips that are scheduled for this weekend at the TOS Spring Meeting in  
Nashville.  You can still register Friday night or Saturday  morning at the 
Baymont Inn and Suites at 111 Penn Warren Dr. in  Brentwood.  Lots of birds 
have 
been seen here this past week, so we're  expecting good results and a fun 
time for all.  Please come join us.
 
Radnor Lake - Saturday - led by Chris Sloan - A  2 1/2  mile wooded trail 
that's great for many migrants including warblers,  vireos, grosbeaks, 
orioles, and tanagers, and holds a possibility for  Connecticut and Mourning 
Warblers.
 
Radnor Lake - Sunday - led by Jan Shaw
 
Shelby Park and Bottoms - Saturday - led by Phillip Casteel -  Richard 
Connors will lead the group from the hotel to the park - Open  bottomlands and 
tree-lines along the Cumberland River good for many migrants and  breeding 
Chat, Common Yellowthroat, Prairie Warbler, Warbling Vireo, Willow  
Flycatcher, and a possibility for Connecticut and Mourning Warblers.  
 
Shelby Park and Bottoms - Sunday - led by Mary Zimmerman -  Amy Potter will

Beaman Park - Saturday - led by Kevin Bowden - A wooded, hilly trail  along 
a beautiful creek great for breeding Worm-eating Warbler, Kentucky

Beaman Park and Bells Bend Park - Sunday - led by Chris Sloan -  Bells Bend 
Park has grassy trails through open fields and tree-lines along the  
Cumberland River good for Henslow's Sparrow, Grasshopper Sparrow, Blue

Narrows of the Harpeth - Sunday - led by Richard Connors - A  beautiful 
area in Cheatham County along the Harpeth River.  A more  strenuous trail leads 
up to a bluff with a wonderful view and a chance to look  down on migrants. 
 Good for Prothonotary Warbler, American Redstart,  Northern Parula, 
Louisiana Waterthrush, Yellow-throated Warbler, and Red-headed  Woodpecker.
 
For those that find themselves with spare time over the weekend, Ellington  
Agricultural Center is right across the street from Crievewood United 
Methodist  Church, where the committee meetings, director's meeting, and 
banquet 
will  take place.  Ellington has trails and can be a very birdy place.   
We hope to see you here.
