Birding Program & Meeting – Saturday, 16 March 2019

Posted on 3 March 2019 by Greg

The Lebanon Birding Club, a.k.a. John W Sellars Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society, meets again at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, 16 March 2019 at the Sadie Ford Historical Farm located across the highway and 500 feet south of the entrance to Cedars of Lebanon State Park.

The program will be on Chris Agee’s birding adventures during his trip to Israel in 2018. Perhaps we can get Chris to also include some details and photos of the birds he saw earlier this year when he visited Sax Zim Bog in Minnesota.

As always, anyone and everyone interested in birding is invited and welcome to attend our meetings. There is never any pressure to join our organization, but we hope you find something you like and will return.

The Sadie Ford Historical Farm is located at

5186 Hwy 231
Lebanon, TN 37090

Park in the gravel area between the farm house and the barn, and enter the farmhouse from the back porch accessible via the wood ramp at the rear of the house.

NOTE: There is no refrigerator nor any way to heat food at the Sadie Ford farmhouse. Please bring a sack lunch to enjoy with the group after the meeting.

We hope to see you Saturday, 16 March 2019.

CANCELED – Old Hickory Lake Field Trip – Saturday, 16 February 2019 – CANCELED

Posted on 29 January 2019 by Greg

CANCELED

Field Trip Around Old Hickory Lake
Saturday, 16 February 2019

CANCELED

Due to the inclement weather and multiple illnesses among our members and friends, the field trip scheduled for tomorrow, 16 February 2019, is canceled.

.

I apologize for the late notice but we were still uncertain about going until late this afternoon. I know, I know — we’re getting as bad as the Wilson County school system about closing every time you turn around, but we will make it up. If the decision is made to do some birding as a club before the March 16 meeting, we will send an email and post a notice on our website. Otherwise we will see you on March 16.

Thank you all for being a part of the Lebanon Birding Club. I hope you have a safe and warm weekend. And if you get a chance be sure to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count which started today and runs through the weekend.

On Saturday, February 16, 2019 — weather permitting — members of the John W Sellars Chapter (Lebanon) of TOS and friends will meet at the Laguardo Recreation Area on HWY 109 at 7:30 AM. We will spend the morning birding various hotspots on Old Hickory Lake around Wilson County looking for ducks, pelicans, and other waterfowl. With luck we could see Bald Eagles nesting.

The recent snow and cold weather north of here should push waterfowl and other early migrants our way. If the weather looks bad, we will send out a cancellation so be sure to monitor your email if conditions look treacherous. Also, be mindful of the road construction along HWY 109. Hope to see you on Saturday.
