[TN-Bird] Seven Islands banding results October 26

Hi Folks
Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge is located in eastern Knox Co, follow the signs 
after exiting I-40 at the Midway Rd. exit.  Complete directions are on the TOS 
website.
Our banding session on Sunday October 26 was part of a continuing effort to 
band year round at the refuge.  We're using six nets and open before sunrise 
and usually quit about 11:00.  At our current location in the refuge we band in 
and along a hedgerow near the river and in cuts into the warm season grasses.  
On the 26th we banded 57 birds plus had 3 recaptures.  Banded birds include 
carolina chickadee 4, ruby-crowned kinglet 2, american goldfinch 9, field 
sparrow 1, swamp sparrow 18, song sparrow 17, savannah sparrow 2, white-crowned 
sparrow 2, carolina wren 1 and northern cardinal 1.  This was the first of 
season captures for kinglets, swamp sparrow, savannah sparrow and white-crowns.
During our previous sessions from August, September and early October we banded 
a nice selection of birds.  The refuge habitat is most suitable for grassland 
birds and we get a lot of indigo buntings, field sparrows, song sparrows and 
common yellowthroats.  In that period we also banded small numbers of palm 
warblers, magnolia warblers, tennessee warblers, a few redstarts and a 
lincoln's sparrow.  It is always interesting to see what shows up at the 
refuge.  Our next scheduled sessions are Nov. 9 and 23.
