[TN-Bird] Seven Islands W.R. - mon, 2/25

I visited Seven Islands (Knox Co.) today after work from around 5-6:30 pm. It 
was very quiet at first but I ended up with some good birds including the first 
male harrier i've seen here, a Palm Warbler, and 6 Bobwhite that scared me to 
death when flushed.

N. Harrier - 2 (1m,1 silhouetted-probably f)
Amer. Kestrel - 2
Bufflehead - 1 m
Mallard - 2
Canada Goose - 30+
Great Blue Heron - 3
Belted Kingfisher - 1
Song Sparrow
White-Thr. Sparrow
Red-Winged Blackbird 10+ (FOS)
Palm Warbler - 1
Bobwhite - 6
Pileated W.P. - 1 heard
Downy W.P. - 1
Car. Wren - 1
Car. Chickadee
E. Towhee 
Eur. Starling
N. Cardinal

I also visited Kyker Bottoms (Blount Co.)on Tues. and Sun. of last week and had 
a few life-birds including Loggerhead Shrike, Amer. Wigeon, Ruddy Duck, and 
Swamp Sparrow (1st time I was sure at least)-as well as FOS tree swallow. 
Thanks to this website I knew exactly where to find the Shrike - right out in 
the open across from the gray barn--very nice. I also got my 1st Redhead last 
Tues. at the pond off Baum Dr.in W. Knoxville thanks to Carole Gobert's 
posting. I viewed it from my vehicle (along w/ my redheaded niece) from 20-30 
ft away. Thanks to everyone for the postings, they have been very valuable to 
my growing life-list.
