SUMMARY:Field Trip - October 12th - Lytle Park in Nashville
DESCRIPTION:Come explore Nashville’s newest addition to its already impressive park system!  Located at the confluence of the Cumberland and Stones River just a few miles east of downtown\, Lytle Park consists of roughly 600 acres of woodlands\, shrubby fields\, pastures\, and ponds. The property is situated in a large bend of the Stones River\, and is surrounded by rolling hills\, high bluffs\, and limestone shelves.  The former farm was purchased with help from The Nature Conservancy\, which is leading efforts to restore former cattle pastures to native grassland.  We will meet at 7:00am at the newly completed parking lot and playground in adjacent Ravenwood Park in Hermitage\, which in and of itself boasts a nice array of habitat on the former golf course property.  Trails are unimproved for the most part so sturdy shoes and bug spray are recommended. (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net  Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)

SUMMARY:November Field Trip - Saturday the 9th - Duck River Unit of TNWR
DESCRIPTION:After a hiatus last fall\, we will pick back up with our annual tradition of visiting Duck River just before the seasonal closure of the refuge.  By mid-November\, lots of waterfowl should already have returned and we have a chance to spot up to 20 species.  Duck River also hosts a large population of wintering raptors and we’ll be on the lookout for eagles\, harriers\, hawks\, and falcons.  We will also keep an eye out for sparrows\, and we’ll have the chance to find at least 10 species – we will have an optional sparrow stomp though some marshy fields for LeConte’s sparrow and others.  For logistical reasons\, carpooling is highly encouraged.  We’ll meet at the MTA Park-and-Ride in Bellevue and leave at 6:15am; you can also meet us at the refuge entrance at 8:00am.  Please dress for the weather and bring plenty of water and snacks.  If you wish to participate in the sparrow stomp\, waterproof shoes or muck boots are highly recommended.  We should finish up around mid-day or early afternoon.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net  Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting - November 21st
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our month meeting at Radnor Lake Visitor’s Center on November 21st at 7:15 pm.  We’ll have a short business meeting followed by a presentation by our own Chris Sloan… \n“Birds of Madagascar” \nMadagascar is so biologically unique that it is often called the Eighth Continent. Though it is situated off the coast of east Africa\, it was more recently connected to India than any part of Africa! As a result\, the overwhelming majority of all birds\, mammals\, reptiles and other life forms on the island are found nowhere else. Chris Sloan will share stories and photos of lemurs\, vangas\, sifakas\, couas\, ground-rollers\, fodies\, and other strange and bizarre creatures found during a three-week trip in October and November 2023.

SUMMARY:NTOS Monthly Meeting - January 15th
DESCRIPTION:The Nashville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Socie- \nty meetings are held at the Radnor Lake Visitors Center at \n1160 Otter Creek Road on the third Thursday of every month \n(except July and August). We usually gather and greet one \nanother at 7:00 pm; have a Business Meeting at 7:15; which \nis followed by a program at 7:30 pm. \nJanuary 16\, 2025 – \n“Feather Coloration vs Light Refraction” \nPresented by Brandon Sandoval \nBrandon Sandoval is a Life Support Technician at the Nash- \nville Zoo at Grassmere. He recently joined the bird staff of \nthe Zoo as an animal caretaker. During his time on the bird \nteam\, he was able to utilize molted feathers from a Hyacinth \nMacaw\, Blue-bellied Roller and Livingstone Turaco to show \nhow these birds achieve their stunning coloration through \nthe physical reaction light has with their feathers or structur- \nal color. Brandon’s presentation briefly explains the mecha- \nnism of structural colors used and is demonstrated via opti- \ncal microscopy. \nBrandon is currently pursuing a career as a marine biologist\, \nwith a focus on corals\, however\, his work with Joe de \nGraauw (Nashville Zoo Avian Curator) and the bird staff on \nthe Nashville Zoo bird team this past summer has given him \na great opportunity to work with his very first mentors as an \nanimal caretaker.

SUMMARY:**Tentative** Saturday\, February 15th - Ft. Campbell Winter Trip Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:**Tentative** Saturday\, February 15th – Ft. Campbell Winter Trip: \nGiven 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. \nSpecial 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”.

SUMMARY:Saturday\, March 29th - Henry Horton State Park Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Com join us in exploring a lesser known and under-birded destination by visiting Henry Horton State Park located about an hour south of Nashville.  TOS member Chris Stafford will be our guide as we focus our exploration on the west side of the park along the “Wetland Trail” which is a grassy path that winds through forests and fields containing a seasonal wetland along the shores of the Duck River (incidentally one of the most biodiverse rivers in the country).  We’ll have an optional climb to the top of an observation platform overlooking the river and surrounding forest.  Sparrow migration should be in full swing\, and we’ll also hope to welcome back some early neotropical migrants.  Time permitting and for those interested\, we can check out the nearby Lewisburg Reservoir after we wrap up at Henry Horton.  The trails can be muddy\, so boots or waterproof footwear is recommended.  We will meet at the main park visitors center at 7:30am and proceed to the trail from there. \n(Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net. Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)

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.

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\,  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.
