This Saturday, July 18th, the NTOS will be birding Bowie Nature Park in
Fairview (7211 Bowie Lake Road, Fairview, TN 37062). We will be meeting in the
parking lot beside the restrooms at 7:00 A.M., and then we'll take the Loblolly
Loop Trail (a distance of approximately 1.5 miles). Red-headed Woodpeckers are
abundant breeders at this park, and Pine and Yellow-throated Warblers can be
heard singing along the trails. This walk will only last the morning, but you
are welcome to bring snacks and drinks if you wish. Please bring bug spray
since we will be walking through mostly woods. For more information about Bowie
Nature Park, visit www.bowiepark.org. Directions from Nashville: From I-40 West
(towards Memphis), take exit 182 for TN-96/Fairview/Dickson. Turn right onto
Highway 96 N/TN-96 and travel approximately 4.5 miles. Merge onto Fairview
Blvd/TN-100. Travel 1.5 miles, then turn right at the park's entrance at Bowie
Lake Road. The parking lot beside the restrooms is about 0.5 mile on your right
after entering the park.
Hope to see you there!
