Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society will sponsor
the following field trip:
Saturday, December 3, 2005, 8:00 A.M.
Fort Loudon Dam area plus beaver ponds, open water and tail waters.
Leader: Wes James (988-2433 w; wkjames@xxxxxxx)
Meet at 8:00 am in the Tellico Canal Bathhouse/parking area adjacent to the
canal that connects Tellico and Fort Loudon Reservoirs. This area is
reached by taking the first
exit after crossing the Fort Loudon Dam Bridge. The exit says
Tellico Village, Route 444. After taking this exit you go straight across
Tellico Parkway (Route 444) to the bathhouse and parking area. It is the
same
road that goes to the Tellico Canal boat ramp. We will check below the dam
for gulls and terns. There are major beaver pond areas to visit as well as
the open water areas of the reservoirs and tail waters. There is also a lot
of early succession "sparrow" habitat. Expect to see several waterfowl and
wading bird species, sparrows, raptors, (possibly bald eagle) and possibly
other late migrants. We could finish up before
lunch time. Walking should be fairly moderate.
Members and non-members alike are invited to attend.
