Saturday, April 20th – Field Trip to Bowie Nature Park

Join Graham Gerdeman and Mike Smith for a visit to this under-birded gem in Williamson County.  Consisting of extensive stands of deciduous hardwoods and pine forests, as well as several small lakes and ponds, Bowie’s varied habitat should attract a good variety of birds, especially as spring migration heats up in mid-April.  It is also one of the best places in the greater Nashville area to find Red-headed Woodpeckers, Pine Warblers, and Red-breasted Nuthatches.  We will hike several interconnected trails that pass through each of these habitats.  We will meet at 7:00am at picnic shelter #1 near Lake Van (just past the Nature Center).  For additional information, please email ms722@bellsouth.net.
