OCTOBER 15th – FIELD TRIP TO BELLS BEND

Fall is a great time to explore the overgrown fields and forest edges of Bells Bend Park.  Bells Bend is a premier location for sparrows, and by mid-October, we should encounter several species as they are either migrating through or returning to spend the winter.  We’ll also search for any lingering neotropical migrants.  The morning will consist of a leisurely hike along the mowed paths as we start at the Outdoor Center, then make a loop around several of the large overgrown fields, and then back to the center.  We will meet at 7:00am and we should be done by lunchtime. Please note that the grass can be quite wet from the morning dew, so wear appropriate footwear.  (Contact information: ms722@bellsouth.net  Please include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line.)
