Schedule for Field Trips for this Saturday's TOS
Spring Meeting in Nashville. All field trips will
leave from the Steeplechase Inn at 7:00am. Signup
sheets will be available at Registration Friday
evening.
Saturday & Sunday Trips:
Radnor Lake:
Jan Shaw will lead these trips to Radnor Lake State
Natural Area. The mostly level ground walk will take
3-4 hours. Most any warbler species found in the
Nashville Area could be encountered, as well as any
vireo, tanagers, orioles, etc. Also Wood Duck, Green
Heron, Osprey.
Beaman Park:
Kevin Bowden will lead these trips to Beaman Park,
Metro's newest park in northwest Davidson County. A
moderate 2.5 mile hike up Horton Hollow Trail should
yield many warblers, including Worm-eating Warbler, as
well as thrushes, vireos, and other spring
migrants/residents. Every out-of-town birder should
try to go on this trip. The field trip should take
3-4 hours.
Saturday-only field trip:
Natchez Trace Parkway
Rob Lane will lead this trip to various spots on the
Natchez Trace. There is a good mix of habitats along
the Trace, so most anything in Middle Tennessee is
possible! This trip will finish around 1:00 PM.
Sunday-only field trip:
Shelby Bottoms
This field trip will go to Shelby Bottoms, a Metro
Greenway. This is one of the best places in Nashville
for migrating Mourning and Connecticut Warblers.
