20 birders showed up for Seven Islands first monthly bird walk (Knox County)
this morning 6/24/2105. The highlight was seeing the dickcissel that had been
previously reported 3 days ago.
If you go out to Seven islands there is now a large map inside the barn at the
parking lot where bird sightings can be indicated. I marked the location today
on the dickcissel. It was basically seen half way between the maintenance barn
and the green (unoccupied house) along the road. The bird was working out in
the field and was moving around a lot. We also had a singing grasshopper
sparrow in the same area.
