SUMMARY:MTOS Field Trip to Nonconnah Creek at Halle Stadium
DESCRIPTION:Join MTOS Field Trip Coordinator Ryan Pudwell for an afternoon field trip to Nonconnah Creek at Halle Stadium—the site where he discovered the rarities Vermilion Flycatcher and Ash-throated Flycatcher in October 2025. Check out more information and eBird sightings at this hotspot here. \nDirections to meeting spot: Park between the football and baseball fields. We’ll meet under the trees to the right of the main baseball field at this location. \nLong pants\, bug spray\, and boots are recommended.

SUMMARY:MTOS  Field Trip to Ensley Bottoms
DESCRIPTION:Field Trip Coordinator Ryan Pudwell is our leader for the Memphis TOS chapter’s trip to the famous Ensley Bottoms\, aka the “Pits.” Check out eBird sightings at this hotspot here. \nMeet at 7:00 am on Saturday\, October 3 at the T.O. Fuller State Park Visitor Center at 1500 W. Mitchell Rd Memphis\, TN 38109. We’ll carpool and caravan from there. You don’t have to be a MTOS member to participate\, there is no charge\, and be sure to bring binoculars. \nThe Ensley complex consists of the T.E. Maxson WTF sewage lagoons (aka\, the “Pits”) and Riverport Road ponds. The “Pits” consist of an array of sewage sludge drying ponds–some dry and some flooded\, depending on rainfall and treatment. Shallow water/mudflat habitat attractive to shorebirds is abundant and large numbers of shorebirds frequent the area from March through October with smaller numbers of birds through winter. \nNew visitors please note: The disagreeable odors from the sludge drying ponds can be overwhelming at times. After rain\, dirt roads are extremely slippery and caution must be taken. Never take risks while driving in and birding this area. \nContact Ryan Pudwell for more information at rpudwell@immanuealmemphis.org.

SUMMARY:NTOS Field to Duck River - November 14th - 8 am
DESCRIPTION:Join NTOS on Saturday\, November 14th at 8:00 AM for our annual visit to the Duck River Unit of Tennessee National Wildlife \nRefuge! \nThis beautiful refuge is a prime birding destination in November\, with large numbers of waterfowl returning for the winter. With \nluck\, we could spot up to 20 species of ducks and geese. Duck River is also a reliable location for wintering raptors\, including Bald \nEagles\, Northern Harriers\, Red-tailed Hawks\, and perhaps a falcon or two. We’ll also keep an eye out for sparrows\, with the \npotential to find 10 or more species. \nMike Smith will lead this year’s outing\, continuing NTOS’s annual tradition of visiting the Duck River Unit for some excellent late-fall \nbirding. \nCarpooling is highly encouraged due to limited parking and group coordination. For those who wish to carpool\, please meet at the \nMTA Park-and-Ride in Bellevue and depart promptly at 6:15 AM. You may also meet the group directly at the refuge entrance at \n8:00 AM. \nDuck River Unit\, Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Entrance: 35.97407\, -87.95305 \nPlease dress in layers for the weather and bring water and snacks. We expect to wrap up by mid-day or early afternoon. \nCome join us for one of the season’s best birding outings! \nFor questions\, contact Shelley Smith at wkusmith@gmail.com and include “NTOS Field Trip” in the subject line. \nPlease note: This field trip may be canceled if hazardous weather conditions arise. Any cancellations will be announced as soon as \npossible on the TN-Bird Listserv and NTOS’s social media accounts.
