Subject: [TN-Bird] NTOS Field Trip Reminder - Robertson Co., February 22nd
Come join us as we explore the beautiful pastoral landscape of Robertson County
in search of the special wintering birds that are found in this unique habitat.
There are thousands of acres of rolling farmland home to Horned Larks and
Eastern Meadowlarks year ‘round which are joined in the winter by American
Pipits, Lapland Longspurs, numerous sparrows (including White-crowned,
Savannah, and occasionally Vesper), Loggerhead Shrikes, and Merlin. We will
explore several quiet, infrequently traveled farm roads by car looking for
these species. We will also pass several farm ponds and small lakes where we’ll
be sure to look for wintering waterfowl.
We will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the Dunkin’ Doughnuts at Exit 24 (Pleasant View/
Springfield) on I-24 where we will join the trip leader, Tony Lance. The outing
should finish around midday, so be sure to bring a snack and water and dress
warmly. Some may want to meet in Nashville in the lower parking lot of the
Adventure Science Center to carpool to the field trip site. If this is your
choice, please introduce yourself to each other, choose your driver(s) and
leave no later than 7:00 a.m. We hope to see you there!
