Eleven members of NTOS participated in today's field trip to Maury County. Our first stop, Monsanto Ponds, was high- lighted by four swallow species and a pair of nest building Eastern Phoebes. At stop two, Williamsport Lakes, we viewed a nesting Bald Eagle and enjoyed the aerial show of a wheeling, spinning group of Bonaparte's Gulls. Our group split at this point, part returning to Nashville via Natchez Trace Parkway to look for Wild Turkeys. The rest visited Arrow Lake before heading homeward. Species total for the day was an even fifty.
