  • Birding at T. O. Fuller and Nearby Areas
    Birds of T. O. Fuller State Park 1500 Mitchell Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38109 / 901-543-7581 T.O. Fuller State Park occurs on a bluff overlooking the floodplain of the Mississippi River. Lying in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, the park offers great opportunities to see migrating birds in the spring and fall. Look for warblers, vireos, thrushes and flycatchers along the eight miles of park trails and along forest edges. A new wildlife enhancement area containing four miles of paved trails is under development and will consist of floodplain wetlands, wildflower valleys, native grassy meadows, and upland ponds. The area has already attracted rare black-bellied whistling ducks, and nesting black-necked stilts. TO Fuller now has 140 species of birds observed. 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.
