[Charlie <cmmbirds@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge
Knox County, TN
June 12, 2005

Today we ran between rain drops and were able to get in most of a
day's banding, though we had to close nets several times.

We were able to catch 38 birds, including 11 that had been previously
banded.  Yellow-breasted Chat continues to be one of our most-caught
species.

A fledgling Brown Thrasher, with it's milky-gray eyes (as opposed to
brilliant yellow of adults) was a neat bird.

Prothonotary Warblers continue to sing very near one of our nets.  3
have been banded this year, including one during MAPS season.

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher makes the 22nd species we've banded this
season.

The day was further highlighted by fly-overs of Double-crested
Cormorant and Black-crowned Night-heron.

Yellow-breasted Chat 2
