SUMMARY:Saturday April 15th - Field trip to Vesta Cedar Glade\, Rutherford County
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 15th – Birds\, Butterflies\, and Blooms – Vesta Cedar Glade\, Rutherford County \nCome join Richard Connors and Mike Smith for a naturalist experience in one of the most unique ecosystems in Tennessee – the cedar glade!  Cedar glades are characterized by shallow\, rocky soils which limits the growth of most woody plants\, and the resulting plant community contains mainly cedar trees interspersed with open rocky glades that support many species of rare wildflowers\, a few of which are found nowhere else on earth.  Consequently\, many interesting birds and butterflies call this ecosystem home\, from breeding Prairie Warblers and Common Nighthawks to butterflies such as Southern Dogface and Juniper Hairstreak.  We will explore all facets of this ecosystem on our outing.  In order to give the butterflies a chance to warm up a bit\, we’ll meet at 9:00am:  from I-840 in Rutherford Co\, take Exit 67 and turn east (toward the Love’s Truck Stop) and travel 1.6 miles along Vesta Rd.  Turn left onto Moccasin Ln and travel 1 mile to the entrance (small parking lot on the left).  Navigating to “Vesta Cedar Glade” using Google Maps will take you right there.  For additional information\, please email ms722@bellsouth.net.

SUMMARY:NTOS Field Trip - Bells Bend Park - March 25th
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an early spring outing as we explore the overgrown fields and pastures of Bells Bend Park.  We’ll begin just before dawn at Bells Bend Park to look and listen for owls and American Woodcock\, the males of which hopefully will still be “peenting” and displaying their way into the hearts of the females just before dawn.  Once things lighten up\, we’ll meander along the trails in search of sparrows\, waterfowl\, Northern Harrier\, and other early spring arrivals.  We’ll meet at 5:30 a.m. at the Poplar Creek trailhead (the FIRST park entrance) for the pre-dawn portion of our trip.  For those wishing to sleep in a bit\, you can join us around 7:00 at the nature center parking lot (the SECOND park entrance) for the daytime portion of our trip. We should wrap up around lunchtime.  Please dress in layers\, and wear appropriate footwear as the grassy trails can be damp.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net. Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)
