Seven Islands State Birding Park

Seven Islands State Birding Park is a state park in Knox County, Tennessee found east of Knoxville in Kodak along the French Broad River. The recreation center was made for bird watching. The assorted prairie scenes and the waterway make natural surroundings for in excess of 180 types of birds. For a significant part of the twentieth century, the recreation center's territory was a piece of a ranch worked by the Kelly family, whose name is as yet joined to the stream twist and the recreation center's principle get to street, and whose homestead house is as yet remaining on the property. Preservationists bit by bit obtained the land and gave it to the Knox County Parks and Recreation Department.

The Seven Islands Wildlife Refuge was made and at first overseen by the Parks and Recreation Department and the Seven Islands Foundation, and later by the Legacy Parks Foundation. The shelter turned into Tennessee's 56th state stop on July 1, 2014. The recreation center's name alludes to a string of little islands and reefs in the nearby river. Species of feathered creatures found inside the recreation center incorporate purple martins, tree swallows, basic yellowthroats, yellow-breasted visits, summer tanagers, blue grosbeaks, and indigo buntings. Sparrows are regular in winter, in particular the field, Savannah, tune, overwhelm, White-throated, and white-delegated species. Stable owls have been known to visit the old horse shelters in the area. Waterfowl incorporate Canada geese and mallards.
