The John W Sellars Chapter of TOS would normally meet on Saturday, 18 February 2017, the 3rd Saturday of the month, but the TOS winter gathering is that weekend, 17-19 February at Paris Landing State Park. Consequently, our normal meeting at Cedars of Lebanon will not occur. Members of the Lebanon Birding Club are encouraged to attend the TOS gathering, and make a weekend of it.
However, if you cannot commit to a whole weekend of birding, Stephen Zipperer will be leading a field trip around Paris Landing and Kentucky Lake beginning at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, 18 February 2017 and all of our members are invited. Meet in front of the Paris Landing State Park Lodge by 8:00 a.m.
What will we see?
Waterfowl! Lots of waterfowl! Ducks and geese galore: Snow Goose, Ross’s Goose, Cackling Goose, Greater White-fronted Goose are all possible. Black Duck, American Wigeon, Gadwall, Canvasback, Redhead, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Lesser and Greater Scaup, Bufflehead, Goldeneye, and various Merganser are certain. Also, we will see lots of gulls. Bonaparte’s, Lesser Black Backed, Herring, and Ring-billed gulls are a given, And… AND, in addition to Bald Eagles, we could see a Golden Eagle!
