[TN-Bird] KTOS Field Trip to Seven Islands, Knox County, east Tenn

Ten birders braved temperatures less than 20 degrees for a nice morning
of birding at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge in east Knox County. With
the sun shining and no wind, it was a great day to be out in the field.
We didn't have any surprises, seeing only birds that can be expected
there at this time of year. Still, the FOX SPARROWs were a nice
highlight - and a life bird for some of the participants. These were
seen along the trail to Steamboat Island.
Here's our list:
 
Canada Goose
Mallard
Wild Turkey - seen by one near the entrance by one participant
Pied-billed Grebe
