east Tennessee...Knox County Saturday, April 29 8:00 a.m. Public bird walk on Sharps Ridge... 12:30 p.m. Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge Leader: David Trently (dtrently@xxxxxxx; w 865-974-8664; h 865-531-1473). SHARPS RIDGE Other chapter members will serve as co-leaders as we bird our way along the road. The more birders we have listening, the more birds we will see, and that may translate into new recruits for our hobby. Meet at the J.B. Owen overlook at 8 a.m. The walk will be along the road in Sharps Ridge Memorial Park. Spring migrants are the objects of this field trip. Orioles, grosbeaks, warblers and other migrants are expected. The general public will be invited. For directions and additional info, see: http://www.tnbirds.org/birdfinding/SharpsRidge.htm SEVEN ISLANDS WILDLIFE REFUGE For those interested, we will then go to lunch, followed by a walk at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge. Here we will hope to add many field birds, including Northern Bobwhite, Yellow-breasted Chat, Grasshopper Sparrow, Blue Grosbeak, Bobolink and, hopefully, Bald Eagles. Meet at the parking area at the entrance at 12:30. directions and info: http://www.tnbirds.org/birdfinding/SevenIslands.htm David Trently Knoxville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
