The John W Sellars – Lebanon Chapter of TOS does not meet in July, but we have a field trip to the Duck River Unit near New Johnsonville in West Tennessee on Saturday, 22 July 2017.
This is an all day event and bathrooms are not readily available. You will need to bring lunch, drinks and any snacks you may want. It takes at least 2 hours to get there from Murfreesboro and/or Lebanon so plan accordingly.
Additional details on the trip will be available in about a month (late June) so stay tuned to this website and if you are on our mailing list watch for email updates.
What will we see?
Various sandpipers & plovers, Caspian & Black Terns, American White Pelicans, various herons (great blue, little blue & green) & egrets (great, snowy & cattle) are all possible. Stephen suggests making yourself familiar with Black Terns in non-breeding plumage, and brushing up on waders and shorebirds.

Who wants to see a goatsucker? Yeah, me too. Would you settle for hearing one? If so, join us when we join the Nashville TOS Chapter for a night field trip in search of nightjars and owls in southern Wilson County and northern Rutherford County.
Expect to hear Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, Chuck-will’s Widow, and possibly Eastern Whippoorwill. If we’re lucky, we might catch sight of one or two of these birds.
