Where: Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville
When: Tuesday, September 13, 2016, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Hosts: Jay Sturner, Jimmy Tucker, and Barry Spruce
Join us for a special viewing of the Shorebird Identification DVD by Bob
Hamblin. This video is 74 minutes long, and covers 52 species of shorebirds
(plovers, sandpipers, turnstones, phalaropes, etc.), a good number of which are
currently migrating through Tennessee.
Meet inside Ijams Nature Center at 6:00 p.m. The video will start shortly after
6:00 with one 10-minute intermission. Afterwards, we will talk a bit about
shorebirds and where to find them in our area. At that time we will also
schedule a field trip to Rankin Bottoms for anyone interested in seeing
shorebirds in the wild.
Note: Although this is a great introduction to shorebird identification, the
content may be a bit dry for those with only a mild interest in the subject.
Still, this diverse and beautiful group of birds is well worth getting to know.
Some say that once you fall in love with shorebirds you may never go back to
the woods!
This is a free event. Participants may bring food and beverages. Light snacks
will be available.
