SUMMARY:First Spring Migration Radnor Walk - April 17\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first of 4 Wednesday morning spring migration walks at Radnor Lake State Park.  Walks begin at 7:30 am outside the Visitor’s Center off Otter Creek Rd.  We take the same route each time so if you get caught in traffic or can’t get there right at 7:30 am you can catch up with us.  We go up the road\, across the spillway and down the trail to Long Bridge where the walk officially ends.  Many will continue around but that is a personal choice. \nThere is no registration or fee involved and we welcome ALL birders no matter experience or knowledge. \nEach walk has a point of contact (TBD as time draws nearer) who will keep the ‘list’ for the group. \nIf you have any specific questions email President Cyndi Routledge – routledges@bellsouth.net and please place Radnor Walk in the subject line. \nWe hope you’ll join us this spring…

SUMMARY:Monthly meeting - Thursday\, April 18\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:NTOS monthly meeting Thursday\, April 18th at 7 pm. \nProgram: \nEcuador is considered to be one of the most diverse places on earth and that diversity comes the astonishing fact of being the Country who hosts the most hummingbird species in all the Americas – 132 hummingbirds to be exact;  which is over 40% of all hummingbird species on the earth. \nPlease join us as NTOS President Cyndi Routledge as she takes us on a photographic tour of some of the hummingbirds she encountered while in the Choco-Andes region of Ecuador in June of 2023.  We’ll learn why Ecuador is so unique and well suited for a wide variety of hummingbirds\, hear some interesting facts about these very special birds and perhaps a tale or two about her time in the Country. \nEveryone is welcome!

SUMMARY:Saturday\, April 20th - Field Trip to Bowie Nature Park
DESCRIPTION:Join Graham Gerdeman and Mike Smith for a visit to this under-birded gem in Williamson County.  Consisting of extensive stands of deciduous hardwoods and pine forests\, as well as several small lakes and ponds\, Bowie’s varied habitat should attract a good variety of birds\, especially as spring migration heats up in mid-April.  It is also one of the best places in the greater Nashville area to find Red-headed Woodpeckers\, Pine Warblers\, and Red-breasted Nuthatches.  We will hike several interconnected trails that pass through each of these habitats.  We will meet at 7:00am at picnic shelter #1 near Lake Van (just past the Nature Center).  For additional information\, please email ms722@bellsouth.net.
