NTOS will have a field trip to Shelby Bottoms (Davidson County) this Saturday, Nov. 17. It's one of the best places in town to see several species of sparrows well, including Fox Sparrow. Phillip Casteel will lead the group, and the trip should last just the morning. We will be on level paved and grassy trails. Since we'll be birding Phase 3 of the Bottoms which is unfamiliar to some people, we'll meet at the Adventure Science Center (800 Fort Negley Blvd. 37203) lower parking lot at 7:00 AM and carpool from there. Anybody is welcome.
