Hey folks,
Hope you are fine.
Here are the latest happenings in South Georgia since 3/1. All sightings
are by me at my home in Waycross, Ware Co. unless otherwise noted.
Signs of spring (Ware Co.):
BLUE JAY: visiting as a pair regularly this month
CAROLINA CHICKADEE: 3/12 a pair seen visiting an Eastern Bluebird box at
Laura S. Walker State Park s. of Waycross
CAROLINA WREN: 3/13 a pair entered my garage thru a hole in a window in
the early morning & started building a nest on the top ledge of my
garage door. This would be destroyed when the door opened, so I removed
the partial nest & kept the door open to discourage further attempts.
When I went outside later in the afternoon, they fussed at me! Sorry
guys.
BROWN THRASHER: 3/8 birds continue as a pair
PINE WARBLER: 3/12 (1) repeated trilling at Laura S. Walker State Park
s. of Waycross
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW: 3/7 (1) having the yellow lores as now a very
bright color
NORTHERN CARDINAL: 3/5 (2) males countersinging strongly at the very
tops of opposing trees
AMERICAN GOLDFINCH: 3/12 (2) showing more yellow
Other sightings (Waycross, Ware Co.):
SONG SPARROW: 3/8 & 3/12 (1) a first for my backyard
HOUSE FINCH: 3/7 & 3/11 male (1) visiting my backyard again; thought I
heard a song 3/13
Other sightings (Charlton Co. near Folkston):
WILD TURKEY: 3/7 (8) feeding in a field along GA Hwy #121 (Woodpecker
Trail) just northeast of Stanley Branch; a regular place
AMERICAN KESTREL: 3/7 (3) scattered along Spanish Creek Rd
LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE: 3/7 (1) opposite new clearcut along GA Hwy #121
(Woodpecker Trail) just southeast of Co. 40 & north of the entrance road
to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Sheila Willis
