["Dan and Laurie Mooney" <birds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Laurie and I visited Seven Islands WMA in east Knox County yesterday.  It was a 
beautiful day for a walk.  The most enjoyable birds of the day were 3 bald 
eagles.  Much of the area that has been planted in native grasses has been 
burned.  The folks who did the burn did an impressive job with control.  The 
fire had come just to the edge of the path on both sides, but the paths 
remained green.  
The birds for the day were:
Canada Goose
Wild Turkey(on Midway Rd near Seven Islands)
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron
Black Vulture
Turkey Vulture
Bald Eagle
Northern Harrier
Accipiter Species(too fast for me)
