NTOS will take a field trip on Saturday, November 19 to the
Kentucky Lake area, which encompasses several well known
birding spots. We will be visiting various sites such as Lick
Creek, Bennett's Creek Overlook, Pace Point, Britton Ford,
Eagle Creek, and Paris Landing State Park. We will focus on
ducks, loons, gulls, eagles, geese, and sparrows that use the
area during the late fall and winter. We will meet 7:00 am
Saturday morning at the Bellevue Park & Ride lot, next to
I-40 exit 196 in Bellevue on the southwest side of Davidson
County, and from there we will car pool to Big Sandy. Frank
Fekel will lead the trip, which will last most of the day.
Bring a lunch and warm clothing as we will be next to the water
for much of the time. We may also tramp through a wet field
or two in search of sparrows, so wear appropriate footware.
Spotting scopes will be very helpful. Any interested birder
is invited to participate.
For those wishing to meet us nearer our destination, we will
stop briefly at the Big Sandy gas and convenience store
(Doherty's Quick Mart) on the corner of Route 69A, arriving at
about 8:50 am before heading on to Lick Creek and then
Bennett's Creek Overlook on Big Sandy Unit TN-NWR.
