SUMMARY:Special August Field Trip...AUGUST 5TH PURPLE MARTINS...
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Nashville- Korean Veterans Blvd (Davidson Co.) Wednesday\, August 5th at 7:30 pm.\n\n\n\nJoin the Nashville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society (NTOS) for a special evening birding event as we gather to witness the spectacular evening roost of thousands of Purple Martins in downtown Nashville.\n\n\n\nIn recent weeks\, large numbers of Purple Martins have been gathering downtown at dusk. For those familiar with downtown Nashville\, this year’s roost is in the trees along Korean Veterans Boulevard next to the roundabout featuring the Stix public art display. Coordinates for this location are:  36.15522\, -86.77892.\n\nWe will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday\, August 5\, on the opposite side of Korean Veterans Boulevard from the roost\, just off the roundabout. From there\, we will watch as the birds gather and settle into the trees for the evening.\n\n\n\nSeveral paid parking options are available in the surrounding area\, including at the Music City Center and along Korean Veterans Boulevard. Attendees should allow sufficient time to find parking and walk to the roost location before dusk.\n\n\nBring binoculars\, a lawn chair if desired\, water\, and weather-appropriate clothing. Please be mindful that\, with this number of birds\, a “purple rain” of bird droppings is a high risk\, so dress accordingly \n\n\n\nWe hope you’ll join us for this exciting summer gathering and witness one of Tennessee’s most remarkable birding events!\n\n\nFor questions\, contact Shelley Smith at wkusmith@gmail.com and include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.\n\n\n\nPlease 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.
