Come explore Lytle Park, one of the newest gems in Nashville’s expanding park system!
Our fall field trips to this park have consistently drawn great interest, and this year we’re switching things up with a visit in a different season. March brings a unique blend of lingering winter species and the earliest signs of spring migration. From sparrows and raptors to waterfowl on the ponds, this under-birded landscape promises exciting discoveries even in the final weeks of winter.
For this field trip, we’ll be guided by Grant Winter, a local birder who frequents Lytle/Ravenwood Park and knows its habitats well. March 21st offers a wonderful blend of lingering winter species and the first hints of early spring migration.
We’ll meet at 7:00 AM at the parking lot and playground at Ravenwood Park in Hermitage (Park Coordinates: 36.190870, -86.646290). Trails are largely unimproved, so sturdy footwear is recommended, and early mornings can be chilly so please dress warmly.
For questions, contact Shelley Smith at wkusmith@gmail.com and include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.
Join us as we explore the beauty of Lytle/Ravenwood Park in late winter!
Please note: This field trip may be canceled if hazardous weather conditions arise. Any cancellations will be announced as soon as possible on the TN-Bird Listserv and NTOS’s social media accounts.
