Saturday evening, Oct 18, I returned to Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge in
eastern Knox County to lead a Knoxville TOS field trip, hoping that the good
amount of bird activity I found there in the morning would still be happening.
Alas, as I said a 'few' times that night, "You should have been here this
morning!" We only saw or heard 3 sparrow species (after finding 9 or 10 in the
morning).
It was much quieter but we did have one important highlight. The first record,
that I know of for the refuge, for LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE. This bird came in and
perched on a wire giving us really nice looks. There even was a "mimics many
voices" nearby for comparison. Oh, I mean N Mockingbird ;-)
On our way out we ran into a group from Ijams Nature Center that was on an Owl
Prowl. They had heard two and seen one E SCREECH-OWL near the parking area.
