The Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee Ornithological Society will sponsor the following field trip: Saturday, January 24, 2004 Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge, Knox County. Leaders: Charlie Muise (cmmbirds@xxxxxxxxx: 865-977-8429 h) and David Trently (dtrently@xxxxxxx; 974-8664 w; 531-1473 h) Leave at 7:40 a.m. from the Comcast parking lot (formerly the K-Mart parking lot) on US Highway 11E, or meet at Seven Islands at approximately 8:00 a.m. Take the first exit from I-40 east of the junction of I-40 and I-640, turn left on US 11E and the lot is on the right at the top of the hill just before the Holston River bridge. There is excellent open field and riparian habitat, plus some wooded areas. We may see any normal resident bird, including raptors, sparrows and possible waterfowl along the river. We'll spend about 3 hours birding here, mostly along a paved road, but also covering some open fields and the wooded area on the hill tops. Bring something to drink. Members and non-members alike are invited to attend.
