CANCELLED DUE TO DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS….Kick off the new birding year with NTOS as we head west to the beautiful Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge! We will join trip leader Mark Greene for a morning walk around O’Neal Lake, where we’ll search for flocks of wintering waterfowl and scan the surrounding fields for seasonal specialties. Our walk will largely take place along a gravel road, but sturdy footwear is recommended.
We’ll meet at 8:00 AM ON JANUARY 31ST at the O’Neal Lake parking area, just past the Hatchie NWR Visitor Center at 6772 TN-76 Stanton, TN 38069 (Coordinates: 35.49797, -89.26051).
Dress warmly, bring a spotting scope if you have one, and come enjoy a crisp winter morning exploring one of West Tennessee’s most scenic refuges. Let’s start the year off birding together!
