Nine birders participated in today's KTOS field trip to Seven Islands WMA, 
Mossy Creek WMA and Cherokee Dam.   It was a cold start but otherwise the 
weather was beautiful.   
We started at Seven Islands(Knox county) where a northen harrier gave us great 
views.  Two bald eagles were seen, one sitting on the nest.  We missed the a 
couple of the hoped for sparrows, fox and white-crowned.

At Mossy Creek(Jefferson county) we the highlights included green-winged teal, 
American Kestral, swamp and savannah sparrows.  

At Cherokee Dam(Jefferson County) we had a good number of Bonaparte's gulls, 
300+.   Ring-billed gulls were also abundant.
