Oct 27, 2012 Blount Co. Sunday Oct 28th, KTOS will be hosting a field trip to Kyker Bottoms Refuge in SW Blount Co.led by Mike Nelson. We will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the paved parking lot on Big Gully Rd to check the fields for sparrows and other fall migrants. We will likely drive to other ponds to look for ducks and other waterfowl before the park is closed for the season. Bring water and snacks. This is good area for shrike and several raptors. Please join us. For site info and directions, visit http://www.tnbirds.org/birdfinding/KykerBottoms.htm
