On Wednesday evening, Mike nelson and I visited Seven Islands Wildlife
Refuge in east Knox County. We were hoping to get recordings of
Grasshopper Sparrows (we heard one before the entrance to the park) but
as we arrived at the area where they are usually found, a series of
thunderstorms arrived, keeping us in the barns for over an hour before
we could get out. We had just heard a Grasshopper Sparrow before the
wind and rain started, thus no recordings were made.
 
I did want to report that there were FOUR American Kestrels there. Two
adults and two immatures. Kestrels have nested on the property in the
past.
Another highlight was the number of Summer Tanagers - we heard at least
three singing.
 
At one point, a baby deer was heard crying to its parents. Luckily at
least one adult was in attendance.
