Hi, folks, I spent yesterday morning birding a few areas in Heard & Carroll
Cos., including Glovers Creek WFA & Snake Creek Park (Heard Co.) and Buffalo
Creek (Carroll Co.). The cool temps and windy, overcast conditions added a
bit of a challenge to looking & listening for songbirds, but also
concentrated the swallows & swifts over any open water. Not too many
highlights for the day, but two Anhingas at Glovers Creek were a surprise:
Anhinga: 2 males, Glovers Cr. WFA
Great Egret: 5, Snake Creek Park
Bald Eagle: 1 juvenile, Snake Creek Park
Spotted Sandpiper: 1, Snake Creek Park
Tree Swallow: 1, Glovers Cr. WFA
Bank Swallow: 1, Buffalo Creek@Laurel Rd.
Cliff Swallow: 6, Glovers Cr. WFA (nesting under the Bevis Rd. bridge); 1,
Snake Creek Park
Northern Parula: 2, Glovers Cr. WFA
Yellow-throated Warbler: 1, Glovers Cr. WFA
Prothonotary Warbler: 4, Glovers Cr. WFA
Swainson's Warbler: 1, Glovers Cr. WFA
Louisiana Waterthrush: 2, Glovers Cr. WFA
Kentucky Warbler: 1, Glovers Cr. WFA; 1, Snake Creek Park
Glovers Creek is a Ducks Unlimited M.A.R.S.H. project located south of
Franklin, GA, along Bevis Rd. Snake Creek Park is a USCoE boat ramp/picnic
area south of Franklin along S. River Rd.
I also made a stop at American Proteins, Forsyth Co., Sunday evening:
American Coot: 1
Spotted Sandpiper: 4
Solitary Sandpiper: 1
Semipalmated Sandpiper: 13
Least Sandpiper: 53
Tree Swallow: 4
Bank Swallow: 1
Cliff Swallow: 2
Take care.
