Because this is of general interest to Tennessee birders, especially those
in the southwest corner of the state, I am posting this bird walk notice
that I received through the TOS web site.

Arkabutla Lake Bird Walk
On April 22nd 2006 the National Audubon Society along with
the Corps of Engineers will host the first ever bird walk on
the nature trail system at Arkabutla Lake.
Guided and self-guided bird walks will be held throughout
the day beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. at
Pavilion 761, in the North Outlet Channel Recreation Area.
These bird walks will provide an opportunity for experienced
birders to teach novices how to better enjoy wildlife
watching and for families and friends to simply enjoy some
time outdoors together.
The event will include educational programs conducted by the
National Audubon Society, a certified Leave No Trace
instructor from the Parks and Recreation Management Program
at the University of Mississippi, and Desoto Animal Rescue
Society. Mississippi Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc. will
also be in attendance with an exhibit featuring live birds
of prey.
Please join us and show your interest and support for our
nation's natural resource areas and the wildlife that make
them their home. Your neighbors with the Corps of Engineers
at Arkabutla Lake, Audubon Mississippi, and the University
of Mississippi hope you can attend.
Some things to remember: Binoculars, water, insect
repellent, pen, pad, and remember to dress appropriately.
This event is open to the public.
Only in the case of severe weather will the event be called
off.
For additional information, contact Park Ranger, Shea Staten
(662) 809-0722,
or Dr. Matt Zuefle at the University of Mississippi (662)
915-7573. For map and directions visit:

This is our first time to host an event that involves
birding so please come show your support. I have been out
on the trail a few times the past couple of weeks and have
seen a variety of native and migratory birds.
Thanks,
Shea Staten
