[dtrently <dtrently@xxxxxxx>]

On Thursday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m., there will be a birding trip to SEVEN 
ISLANDS WILDLIFE REFUGE in east Knox County, east Tennessee. (yes, that is 
p.m.) We will meet there at the refuge at that time and spend the next 2-3 
hours walking along the paved road looking for nesting birds. We should walk 
over about 2 miles.
For more information, please look over Marcia Davis's article from the Friday, 
June 13, Knoxville News Sentinel, which talked about the refuge:

If you click on the link below the bobwhite, you will see a photograph of the 
park.

Wildlife biologist Wayne Schacher, who is directly responsible for the 
management plan of the refuge, will be on hand to speak to us about some of 
those plans - which promise to make it an even better site for birds.
I recommend you carry some water to drink.

Directions:
From I-40, take Exit 402 (Midway Rd). Head south on Midway Rd 2 miles to a 
LEFT turn onto Maples Rd. At its end, turn right onto Kodak Rd. Take the first 
LEFT onto Kelly Lane and drive to the end of the road where there is a parking 
lot for the refuge. It's about 4 miles from the interstate.
