We set up one 12m net this afternoon along the French Broad River at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge in SE Knox County to do a bird banding demonstration for a UT class. We caught mostly Indigo Buntings and an American Goldfinch. When we were done with our demonstration and ready to close the nets we found among a group of Indigo Buntings an Ovenbird at the bottom of our nets. It has been a long time since I have seen an Ovenbird. Of the ~20 birds we banded we had 4 Golfinches, 1 Ovenbird and the rest were Indigo Buntings. 3 of the Indigo Buntings were recaptures, banded earlier in the season.
