[TN-Bird] Seven Islands Autumn Event October 22

On Sunday, October 22, 2006, Seven Islands wildlife Refuge will host  "Meet 
Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge - Its Natural Communities and Its Critters," 
sponsored by The Seven Islands Foundation & Knox County Department of Parks and 
Recreation.  All Are invited (see program below).
In the morning (starting around 8am), we are planning to do some bird banding 
in the grasslands and in the afternoon (1-4pm) we will have slide 
presentations of some of the work that has been done at Seven Islands over the 
past 5 
years.  There will be food and a tent for the afternoon presentations.  In case 
of rain we will not band in the morning, but if the rain is not heavy we will 
do some bird walks.  

Seven Islands is located off Exit 402 (Midway exit) on US I-40. east of 
Knoxville.  Head south and follow the green Seven Islands Signs.  The bird 
banding 
and the tent for the afternoon programs will be along the paved road running 
through Seven Island.  For more information about Seven Islands, check out the 
TOS website.
