     I was at 7 Islands Wildlife Refuge (Knox Co.) this afternoon from 1:15 - 
4:30. I had 7 warbler species along Steamboat Island Trail, 2 first-of-season 
winter birds, and btwn 1 and 3 adult Bald Eagles.
     The first eagle sighting was ~2:00 flying relatively high from the 
northwest to southeast (probably following the river). The second was a little 
before 3:00 flying the same height and direction. The third was ~3:10 and was 
circling even higher above the refuge before I lost it. I don't know if they 
were all the same bird or what.
