The Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society will sponsor
the following field trips on the weekend of April 9-10, 2005:
Saturday, April 9, 2005, 8:00 A.M.
Piney Grove Park, Knoxville, TN
Leader: Mark Campen (865-414-5593 w; 865-406-6377 h; campen@xxxxxxxxx
<mailto:campen@xxxxxxxxx> )
This trip will continue a series of trips to some small areas around
Knoxville that have not been on our traditional list of birding areas.
Since the areas are small, participants will be limited to a maximum of 7
for each trip. We will have several trips, so that all who wish to go can
be accommodated. Please call Mark at the numbers above to sign up for the
trip. These trips will involve easy walks along gravel paths and some
woodland walking. Meet at West Hills Elementary School for carpooling.
Sunday, April 10, 2005, 8:00 A.M.
Fort Loudon area 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. 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 maybe
an early osprey), and numerous other early migrants. We could finish up
before
lunch time. Walking should be fairly moderate.
Members and non-members are alike invited to attend.
