From December 14 through January 5 each year, tens of thousands of volunteers throughout the Americas take part in an adventure that has become a family tradition among generations. Families and students, birders and scientists, armed with binoculars, bird guides and checklists go out on an annual mission – often before dawn. For over one hundred and thirteen years, the desire to both make a difference and to experience the beauty of nature has driven dedicated people to go out and count birds on the annual Christmas Bird Count.

Stones River National Battlefield – Field Trip – Saturday, 18 November 2023

Posted on 13 November 2023 by Greg

Let’s go birding!

The John W Sellars Chapter of TOS will be birding on Saturday, 18 November 2023, in Murfreesboro, and invite all who are interested to join us. We will be birding the Stones River National Battlefield Field, and later Gateway Island. Both destinations have wide, paved trails, are wheelchair accessible, and are easily traversed on foot. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes or boots, and of course, dress for the weather.

Meet at 8:00 am at the Stones River National Battlefield Park Visitors Center off of the Old Nashville Highway.  There are bathrooms available inside the visitor center building.
