SUMMARY:April 18th Field Trip to Harpeth River State Park-Gossett Tract (Cheatham Co.) - 7:00 am
DESCRIPTION:Join NTOS for a spring field trip to the Gossett Tract of Harpeth River State Park (1230 Cedar Hill Rd\, Kingston Springs\, TN 37082)\, a scenic riverside property in Kingston Springs. This tract features a mix of open fields\, riparian habitat along the Harpeth River\, and wooded edges making it an excellent spot to look for early spring migrants as well as resident species. The river corridor can be especially productive for swallows\, warblers\, vireos\, and flycatchers\, while the fields may host sparrows and other grassland birds. \nWe’ll begin at 7:00 a.m. and take an approximately 2-mile walk along the gravel and natural-surface pathways. The terrain is relatively flat and open\, offering wide views of the surrounding habitat. \nBring water\, binoculars\, and dress for the weather. We hope you’ll join us for a beautiful spring morning along the Harpeth!

SUMMARY:Field Trip May 16th - Bells Bend Park (Davidson County) - 6:30 am
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore one of the most popular birding areas in Davidson County\, Bells Bend Park. Mike Smith will lead us as we explore the fields and woods of Bells Bend Park in search of the birds found here including Northern Bobwhite\, Indigo Bunting\, Orchard and Baltimore Orioles\, Yellow-breasted Chat\, Common Yellowthroat\, Prairie Warbler\, Blue-winged Warbler\, and in recent years\, Dickcissel. We’ll also keep an eye out for other migrating warblers\, flycatchers\, and grassland species such as Bobolink that may be moving through during this time. \nTo maximize the number of birds seen and take advantage of cooler morning temperatures\, we’ll plan on an early start. We will meet at the visitor center on Saturday\, May 16th at 6:30 a.m. Waterproof footwear and bug spray are highly recommended\, as trails may be damp and insects active. We hope you’ll join us for what promises to be a rewarding and bird-filled morning!
