SUMMARY:NTOS Monthly meeting - FEBRUARY 19th - CANCELLED DUE TO STORM DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT CLEAN-UP!

SUMMARY:November 20th Monthly Meeting and Program description

He has had a lifelong interest in outdoor activities\, travel\, and nature photography. Since retirement eleven years ago he has been fortunate to be able to pursue those interests more actively. Jon\, his wife\, and daughter have traveled extensively in natural areas and parks  in the US\, in Africa\, and in Central and South America.

SUMMARY:NTOS Field Trip - Saturday\,  June 7th
DESCRIPTION:Located in northern Sumner County\, Larkspur contains one of the finest examples of mature hardwood forest in our region\, and together with the adjacent Nature Conservancy property at Taylor Hollow they support large numbers breeding tanagers\, thrushes\, and warblers\, including Cerulean.  The area also contains a small cedar glade and several grassy fields which complete the habitat mosaic.  Larkspur is managed as a natural burial site\, and you will notice several memorial headstones throughout the park.  The gravel trails are well maintained\, but steep in places so sturdy footwear is a must and a hiking stick may come in handy.  We’ll meet at 7:00am on June 7th at the trailhead; the address is 155 Bear Carr Rd\, Westmoreland\, TN.  The gravel parking lot can only accommodate 8 to 10 cars\, so carpooling is highly encouraged – please make arrangements amongst yourselves.  A good meeting place is the Wal-Mart in Gallatin.

SUMMARY:NTOS Field Trip - Saturday\, May 17th
DESCRIPTION:We will explore the fields and woods of Bells Bend Park in the hopes of locating not only all of the breeding birds found here (which include bobwhite\, buntings\, orioles\, chat\, yellowthroat\, Prairie and Blue-winged Warblers\, and in the last few years\, Dickcissel)\, but also some of the later migrating warblers\, flycatchers\, and grassland birds such as Bobolink that should be moving through during this time.  In order to maximize the number of birds seen and take advantage of cooler morning temps\, we’ll plan on an early start and cover at least 3 to 4 miles\, meaning this walk will be on the slightly more intense side.  We will meet at the visitor center on Saturday\, May 17th  at 6:00am.  Waterproof footwear and bug spray are highly recommended.

SUMMARY:NTOS Field Trip - Saturday April 19th
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a unique opportunity to explore the private property of Sarah Fremont and her avid birding son Ari on Saturday\, April 19th.  They have graciously offered to lead us on a guided birding walk of their 45 acre property in southeastern Davidson County between Nolensville and Smyrna.  It contains a mix of gardens\, woods\, and pastures which should be inviting to a large array of neotropical migrants.  At the conclusion of the walk\, cookies and coffee will be provided as well!  We will begin at 7:00am – the address is 8856 Rocky Fork Road\, Smyrna TN 37167.  Once to the driveway\, head past the black barn and turn left up the gravel road to the back of the property where there is ample parking and where the trails are located.  There is a small “cabin” where we will have coffee and cookies\, and which has bathrooms as well.
