On Saturday 18 June the Nashville Chapter of TOS will sponsor a Field Trip
to Beaman Park in western Nashville-Davidson Co. Located on the Western
Highland Rim, Beaman offers deep-wood birding and a few species not often
found elsewhere in the Nashville Basin. The prime target species is the
Worm-eating Warbler, which nests at Beaman Park; however, other species
we may encounter include Louisiana Waterthrush, Ovenbird, Pine Warbler,
Kentucky Warbler, Northern Parula, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Yellow-throated
Vireo, as well as Scarlet and Summer Tanagers.
We will meet at the Adventure Science Center, 800 Fort Negley blvd, in the
lower parking lot at 7:00am and carpool to Beaman Park. For those wishing to
meet us directly at Beaman, we will start at the Creekside Trailhead along
Little Marrowbone Road, not the Nature Center; meet us in the lower parking
lot at Creekside @7:30am. This trip will last just the morning, but bring
water, snacks, and lunch as we will picnic nearby afterwards. Additionally,
bringing insect repellent is recommended.
