**Tentative** Saturday, February 15th – Ft. Campbell Winter Trip:
Given that Ft. Campbell is an active military installation, permissions can change rapidly and therefore this is atentative trip. We will provide updates via TN-Birds, Facebook, and the NTOS website as we get closer to confirm if this field trip will take place. We will join Daniel Moss for a winter field trip of the fort’s native tallgrass prairie, which should be home to numerous wintering sparrows, raptors, and other grassland birds. The main attraction will take place at sunset, during which time we will search for Short-eared Owls which can typically be found wintering here in numbers. As a result, the field trip itself will begin at 2:00pm at the former Ft. Campbell hunting and fishing station parking lot located at the corner of Lafayette Rd. and 101st Airborne Division Rd. where we will meet up with Daniel. For those looking to make a day of it, feel free to visit some of the other Clarksville area hotspots such as Dunbar Cave State Park or Liberty Park & Marina beforehand.
Special Notes regarding this trip – the trip is limited to 10 participants, and will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis. NO cameras are permitted, and I need to provide a list of names to Daniel ahead of time, so if you wish to participate, please email ms722@bellsouth.net with the heading “Ft. Campbell NTOS Field Trip”.
