In Knoxville, TN there is an area of the city that has 331 acres devoted to wildlife development. Each year the River Wildlife Management Area plants fields of sunflowers. The sunflowers are beneficial for attacting Mourning Doves, Gold Finches, Northern Cardinals, Indigo Buntings and other songbirds. It also attracts deer and turkeys. When the sunflowers are in bloom they also attract thousands of visitors a day. It is really something to see and to walk among the sunflowers towering over you is a cool feeling. Lisa and I visited the fields for the first time last year but did not see all the fields. Yesterday we went back to see the fields we missed. Although we caught the sunflowers towards the end of their season we still loved walking all the fields and enjoying the sunflowers. The fields of sunflowers are still an awesome sight and seeing all the birds flying around and the bees pollinating the flowers is Amazing. We will be back next year!
