I spent a few hours at Seven Islands in Southeastern Knox county this morning. Things are starting to happen. The prescribed burn areas are starting to green up, and the migrants are moving in. I saw no sign of the eagles, but they were spotted last Tuesday. There were great views of at least three Osprey fishing in the river. Other birds include... Many Blue-gray Gnatcatchers Many Field Sparrows (three building nests) White-throated Sparrows Northern Mockingbirds (one nesting) Palm Warbler Common Yellowthroats everywhere Double-crested Cormorant Canada Geese Red-winged Blackbirds Northern Cardinal Carolina Wren Eastern Phoebe Jim Giocomo Knoxville, TN =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to sign your messages with first and last name, city (town) and state abbreviation.
