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:Saturday\, January 25th – Wheeler NWR\, Decatur\, AL Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Back by popular demand!  Wheeler hosts one of the largest wintering concentrations of Sandhill Cranes in the world\, and it is also home to large numbers of ducks\, geese\, pelicans\, and gulls.  In addition to the hordes of Sandhill Cranes\, one of the main targets will be Whooping Cranes from the reestablished Central flyway population that breeds in Wisconsin\, several of which typically spend the winter at Wheeler (up to six have been reported this winter as of this writing).  After enjoying the crane show\, we will work our way around Wheeler Lake\, stopping to scan for waterbirds at several key locations as well as to grab lunch. We will meet at the Wheeler Visitor’s Center at 9:00am.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net. Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)
