2021 July Newsletter Laotian Boy WE'RE BACK! When we return to meeting at Otter Creek Church, on August 3rd, it will have been 16 months since our last in-person meeting. To put some context behind that, I have since added a grandson who is now 8 months old! We had approximately 30 Zoom meetings during the stretch. More importantly, a Covid vaccine was developed, which makes a return possible. Photo By It will be a welcome return, for sure! I have Claude Velasco spoken with many of you at outings and via email, so I know how much anticipation exists. As we get closer to the return date, you will receive reminders of changes we're implementing, both onsite and online. For now, we'll take the month of July off from the Main Meeting and Mini-Clinic. Photography Basics and the July Outing will still be held. In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day and enjoy time with friends and family. We'll see you soon! Jeremy Teran BPG President P a g e | 1 Member Spotlight I’ve always been a very visual individual, paying attention to the world around me. As the years passed, I naturally progressed along paths that satisfied that interest, from being a day trip leader for the Sierra Club to my career as an academic and community pathologist (now retired). Claude and Brie Pathology, in particular, honed my attention to visual details. Not surprisingly, a love of photography has accompanied me along my life journey. I purchased my first camera in high school; a match-needle Yashica. I moved on to Nikon cameras and, ultimately, Canon DSLRs (and a Sony RX100 mark VII for on the fly). I have very eclectic photographic tastes, including abstracts, macros, landscapes, people, and animals (particularly dogs). I’m an inveterate traveler, and some of my favorite subjects have been captured on a number of Vietnamese Student - Tonle Sap Lake, Cambodia vacations in the US and abroad. Although I enjoy photographing on my own, I also enjoy being with other like-minded people… there is always more to learn. I hope that you enjoy my photos, which go back nearly 40 years.

The Harpeth River supports resident waders such as great blue and green herons, belted kingfishers and prothonotary warblers, to name but a few. The Gossett Tract, consisting mainly of old fields through which a pair of two-mile trails meander, allows observation of northern bobwhite, American goldfinch, and field sparrow. Mid to late summer is a particularly good time to see numerous field flowers, the insects that feed on them, and the songbirds that in turn depend upon them for sustenance. Cedars of Lebanon State Park 40 minutes from Nashville. Cedars of Lebanon is within a 10,000-acre state forest in the states’ Inner Central Basin. Characterized by thin limestone soils and little surface water, the area is forested with eastern red cedar or by hardwoods on low hills or where deep soils occur. Forests are interspersed with extensive level open cedar glades, unique habitats that support rare or endemic plants, and attract birds of open country such as indigo bunting, prairie warbler, field sparrow and yellow-breasted chat. Adjacent oak-hickory woods are home to forest species such as barred and eastern screech owl, tanagers, vireos, and several warblers. Over 121 species have been recorded.

On the day of the historic vote, Rep. Harry T. Burn surprised everyone when he voted “yes” for suffrage. He placed the tie-breaking vote after receiving a letter from his mother encouraging him to “Hurray and vote for suffrage… Be a good boy and help Mrs. Catt put the ‘rat’ in ratification.” By doing so, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the amendment and women gained the right to vote nationwide.

  • Birds of Reelfoot Lake and Nearby Locations
    Birds of Reelfoot Lake State Park 2595 Hwy 21 E, Tiptonville, Tennessee 38079 / 731-253-9652 Reelfoot Lake is one of the best destinations for bird-watching in Tennessee. The 280-acre Reelfoot Lake State Park is part of a complex of public lands that include the Reelfoot Lake National Wildlife Refuge and the Reelfoot State Wildlife Management Area. The Reelfoot Lake area includes a mix of bottomland hardwood forest, cypress swamp, marsh, agricultural fields, and open water habitats. Over 200 species of birds have been reported from the area. During the winter, Reelfoot Lake is home to numerous bald eagles, 1000s of ducks of many different species and 100s of American white pelicans. Experienced park naturalists lead daily bald eagle and waterfowl tours and the annual Reelfoot Eagle Festival in February is a bird watching destination. During spring and fall migration, watch for migrating songbirds and shorebirds. The state park offers a variety of birding canoe floats and boat tours throughout the year. Responsible Birding - Do not endanger the welfare of birds. - Tread lightly and respect bird habitat. - Silence is golden. - Do not use electronic sound devices to attract birds during nesting season, May-July. - Take extra care when in a nesting area. - Always respect the law and the rights of others, violators subject to prosecution. - Do not trespass on private property. - Avoid pointing your binoculars at other people or their homes. - Limit group sizes in areas that are not conducive to large crowds.

Millions of birds migrate annually along the 3000 mile river valley to breeding and wintering grounds. The extensive floodplain of the Mississippi River supports millions of waterfowl and many declining songbirds use the remaining bottomland hardwood forests in migration and/or for breeding. The Federally endangered Interior Least Tern nests almost exclusively on sand bars in the Mississippi River. Bird monitoring and research led by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency on public lands is helping conservationists and wildlife managers better protect our declining birds.
