The temperature rose quickly during the bird walk at Seven
Islands State Birding Park this morning, but that didn't stop twenty
participants from sweating their way across 3.5 miles and finding 52 species!
Birds were everywhere, including a singing Dickcissel (a rare species for Knox
County) and an Orchard Oriole nest full of hungry babies! It was fun to watch
the parents come and go. Here's our checklist from the hike:

Join us next month (July 22) for another great walk at Seven
Islands State Birding Park. Hope to see you there!
