Just a few notes from yesterday's birding in southwest Georgia, where Earl
Horn and I birded northern Early, southwest Calhoun, and southeast Randolph
Cos.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron: 1 adult, Factory Creek @ CR 141, Early Co.

Northern Harrier:  1 female/imm., Randolph Co.

Broad-winged Hawk: 6 total for the day, widely scattered but never more
than one; Early, Calhoun and Stewart Cos.

Wild Turkey: 4 in three locations, Early and Calhoun Cos.

Barred Owl: 4 total, Clay, Quitman and Early Cos.; all but one was either
heard or seen during the day

Chuck-will's-widow:  3 total, but the day's disappointment.  I thought we
would have better luck with nightjars yesterday morning

Great Crested Flycatcher:  widely distributed and in good numbers

Eastern Kingbird:  widely distributed, but not as numerous as Great Crested
Flycatchers

Wood Thrush: 1, Factory Creek @ CR 141, Early Co.

Warblers:  13 species total (Orange-crowned, Northern Parula,
Yellow-rumped, Pine, Prairie, Palm, Black-and-white, American Redstart,
Swainson's Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, Kentucky, Common Yellowthroat,
Hooded---notice that Yellow-throated is absent)

Orange-crowned Warbler:  just 1, Calhoun Co.

American Redstart:  1 male, Randolph Co.

Swainson's Warbler:  2, Odum Creek Park Rd./Odum Creek Park, Early Co.

Louisiana Waterthrush:  3, Odum Creek Park Rd./Odum Creek Park

Kentucky Warbler:  3, Early Co.

Bachman's Sparrow:  3, scattered across northern Early Co.

White-crowned Sparrow:  10, all but 1 were immatures (9 at in one flock
near Turman, Calhoun Co.; 1 along CR 15, Calhoun Co.)

Orchard Oriole:  just 1, 2nd year male at Odum Creek Park, Early Co.

American Goldfinch:  widely distributed flyovers of one or two, but also
one flock of 50 at Odum Creek Park, Early Co.

Take care.
