[TN-Bird] Seven Islands Knox County bird banding

  We set up one 12m net this afternoon along the French Broad River at Seven 
Islands Wildlife Refuge in SE Knox County to do a bird banding demonstration 
for a UT class. We caught mostly Indigo Buntings and an American Goldfinch. 
When we were done with our demonstration and ready to close the nets we found 
among a group of Indigo Buntings an Ovenbird at the bottom of our nets. It has 
been a long time since I have seen an Ovenbird.
 
 Of the ~20 birds we banded we had 4 Golfinches, 1 Ovenbird and the rest were 
Indigo Buntings. 3 of the Indigo Buntings were recaptures, banded earlier in 
the season.
