BIRDING TRAILS WEBSITE
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is announcing the launch of the
Tennessee Birding Trails website. The birding trails project,
spearheaded by TWRA state ornithologist Scott Somershoe, provides
details on more than 130 of the best places to watch birds across the
state.
“The new website (www.tnbirdingtrail.org) is designed to be simple and
user-friendly so users can find bird watching locations and information
on each site with little effort,” Somershoe said. “Birders can search
for places to go birding using four different search options, including
region of the state, specific species that birders often seek out in
Tennessee, by species group, and by season.”
The value to the birders and travelers from out of state or folks
unfamiliar with the area is extensive details on each site. This
includes what species can be found and when, habitats and specific
places to see, links to species lists from each site submitted by
birders to eBird.org, and directions to navigate to the sites and to get
around once you arrive. The website also has links directly back to the
Tennessee Watchable Wildlife website (www.tnwatchablewildlife.org) for
species and other features.
Contributions to the Watchable Wildlife Fund help maintain and develop
each of the websites. Donation information is available on the home page
of each website.
