There is an osprey nest on the railroad bridge that crosses the Holston River where it joins the French Broad to form the Tennessee River in east Knoxville. This is the first year that I have noticed a nest there. We see ospreys moving up and down the Holston River occasionally, but not regularly. We are just over a mile by crow flight from the bridge. On a different subject, I have posted some photos from Saturday's banding session at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge MAPS station. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera handy when the Wilson's warbler and willow flycatchers were brought in. http://www.knoxtos.org/siwr20060520/index.htm Dan Mooney 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.
