This week’s Ijams Walk•About will be at Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge. The topic is birds of prey.
Seven Islands is on the eastern edge of Knox County. Every bird of prey found locally—including bald eagle, Northern saw-whet owl and barn owl—can be found there, albeit at different times of the year and different times of the day. (Finding a saw-whet owl at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon in March would be close to impossible; at 2 a.m. in November, well your chances would go way up.)
