Join the NTOS this Saturday, December 7, as Chris Sloan leads the group to
various locations around Percy Priest Lake. If you would like to carpool,
please be in the lower parking lot of the Adventure Science at 7:30 A.M. If you
are not interested in carpooling, please be at the upper parking lot at Percy
Priest Dam no later than 8:00 A.M. There are several different hotspots around
the lake where loons, diving ducks, dabbling ducks, grebes, and more, can be
found. As a bonus, there's also a great chance that a rarity can be found (and
everyone loves a rarity)! The trip will most likely last no later than early
afternoon, so bring snacks and a drink. If you have a scope, feel free to
bring it as well. According to the meteorologists, there is a good chance the
weather could be icy, so dress extra warmly since the wind from the lake will
add to the cold temperature. Finally, due to the possible bad weather, please
check TN-bird before you leave
Saturday morning. A decision will be made no later than 6:30 A.M as to whether
the trip will take place or not. If there is no post, the trip will still take
place. Directions to the upper parking lot at Percy Priest Dam are below. Hope
you can join us!
Directions to the upper parking lot at Percy Priest Dam:
From I-24 take the exit for I-40 East towards Knoxville. After about 5.5 miles
take exit 219 for Stewarts Ferry Pike towards J. Percy Priest Dam. Keep right
at the fork, following signs for Percy Priest Dam, and merge onto Stewarts
Ferry Pike. Turn left onto Blackwood Drive. Continue on Bell Road, going past
the parking lot at the information/visitors center entrance to the other
parking lot on the other side of the dam. The parking lot will be on your right.
