Date: 4/22/24 3:29 pm From: Jennifer E Wolf <jenwolf...> Subject: [GABO-L] Scarlet Tanager and Cedar Waxwings - Winterville, Clarke County
My first sighting of a Scarlet Tanager since I moved to Georgia nearly twenty years ago! A solitary male in his beautiful red breeding plumage, looking for a meal in a nearby maple tree. I didn't have binocs on me at the time but he was so close I didn't need them. He hung around for several minutes. I looked for a female but didn't spot her. I'm always on the alert in Spring before the tree canopy fills completely in. Tell me, North Georgia birders, are they a little bit rare here or have I just been unlucky?
I was also rewarded this morning with a small flock of cedar waxwings who'd dropped in to chow down on my Mahonia berries. The waxwings are more common in the neighborhood but it's always a treat to watch their flighty antics.
Happy birding, everyone!

Date: 4/10/24 10:40 am From: Sargent, Bob <0000104ebc06b7b8-dmarc-request...> Subject: [GABO-L] Common Ravens nesting at Tallulah Gorge
Dear Birders,
As part of our work with GA DNR, Liz Morata and I have been visiting Tallulah Gorge State Park in recent weeks to look for evidence of peregrine falcon nesting. This is an annual ritual ever since a peregrine nest was first found there in 2015. The last documented peregrine nest in the gorge was observed in 2018. Since then, one or two adult falcons have been seen in the gorge during breeding season most years, but there's been no definitive evidence of nesting. Unfortunately, that trend appears to be continuing this year, though we'll keep looking. When Liz visited the gorge on 22 March, she didn't see any peregrines. Instead, and much to her surprise, she discovered a nest of another species that's rare in Georgia: common raven. I had photographed a recently fledged raven at the gorge on April 20, 2021 but did not observe a nest site. One or two ravens had been seen in the gorge on several occasions in recent years, but the sighting of this juvenile was the first indication that the birds might be nesting at the site. Now Liz's sighting confirmed that they are nesting in the park.
In Georgia the common raven is not common at all. In fact, it is considered to be a rare bird of wildlands and high elevation, nesting (sparsely) above 3,000 feet. During Georgia DNR's Breeding Bird Atlas project (1994-2001), this species was documented as a possible breeder in Lumpkin, Rabun, Union, and Towns counties, but was confirmed breeding only at Brasstown Bald. In 2021 a raven nest was discovered by a falconer on the Nottely Reservoir Dam near Blairsville in Union County. This was unusual not just because a relative handful of raven nests have been found in Georgia, but also because this was the first time in the state that a raven nest had been found on something other than a cliff ledge. A raven pair again nested at the Nottely Dam in 2022 and 2023. See more details in our paper in The Oriole. 2022. Vol. 87 (3-4), pages 88-92.
When Liz and I observed the nest on 3 April, the adult birds appeared to be tending to at least one small but unseen nestling. The nest is located within a recessed, shaded shelf on the cliff face, so it is difficult to see its contents. We observed a few food deliveries, watched two American crows chase one of the ravens, and saw both ravens take a 25-minute break from the nest management activities as the birds flew in circles together over the gorge. DNR's Wildlife Resources Division and State Parks staff will continue to monitor the nest and the behavior of the adult birds, particularly in relation to nearby human activities. If you remember when the peregrines nested in the gorge, you'll recall that you could see the two nest sites they used from 2015-2018 via the vantagepoint of overlook 9. The raven nest is located perhaps 100 feet to the left of the shelf the peregrines used for three of those years. I expect that State Parks will probably provide a notebook at the overlook in which birders can record their visits and observations. You can help these ravens and our work by keeping an eye on them and reporting any problems.
By the way: we are seeing at least one peregrine in the gorge.

I have been outside for about 20 minutes praying to see the leuisistic bird and was not disappointed. It is not a brown thrasher though but a robin. Solid orangish stomach back white, black eye, yellow shorter beak. I hope he sticks around for awhile.

Leuisistic (spelling?) Brown thrasher at VFW Post 5255, 368 Grayson hwy, Lawrenceville GA . I was just now going to the post to do some work and as I got out of the car, I saw a leuisistic brown thrasher on the ground, poking around some pecans. Old lady skedaddling did not allow a picture to be captured but I am sitting outside right now hoping to see it again!

There is an HB feeder in front of the window where I have my computer, and a female ruby-throated humming bird showed up to drink! This is the FOTY for a female; there has been at least one male hummer at one of our feeders. We’ve also had male and female goldfinches for the past 2-3 weeks. Is it possible to have a female rose-breasted grosbeak only at a feeder? I am fairly certain that there has been one, but no male has been seen.
AND - swallow-tailed kites have been seen along US 17 in south Bryan Co toward Richmond Hill.

Good Morning - Around 0530 I was waiting for our kitty to FINALLY decide she wanted to go outside in the enclosed area (glad she was slow!) and heard the chuck will’s widow making it unique sound. I heard the bird last year for a couple of months in the summer (we have about 3 acres in the back) and the bird was close to the end of the property. It’s the same area the bird was heard last year. Hopefully “Chuckie” will be around for a few months.
Enjoy the beautiful spring weather!

Date: 4/1/24 7:14 pm From: Mark McShane <mcshanebirder...> Subject: [GABO-L] NEAR GEORGIA REPORT - TWO FIRSTS FOR THE ABA AREA BORDER GEORGIA AND CONTINUE WELL INTO 2024!!
Hi All,
This is the story of a typical case of GBS (Greedy Birder Syndrome):
Wednesday night after 11PM at home in northeast metro Atlanta (Lawrenceville) I was somehow restless and got to thinking that I really needed a little road trip, and to go and hopefully chase a really good bird too, but what bird would, or could, that possibly be around the southeast at that moment?
The best somewhat handy bird around was the recently transplanted (and even seen for the past couple of days in the same spot) from Florida to now Alabama FIRST FOR THE ABA AREA GRAY GULL!
However, I had seen this bird in Florida first on 9/4/2023, and then again on 11/14/2023, but right away I reasoned that if I go to see the gull again tomorrow, I could stretch my traveling legs, get some beach time, and the bird would be a new state bird for me for Alabama, and also, according to the latest photos coming out of Baldwin County Alabama, it looked like the gull, much changed, was now much closer to complete definitive alternate plumage (as it was last June), and in the U.S. too! Now what Southeastern U.S. birder could resist a combination like that? So off I went… at midnight…
To, sort of, reasonably curtail this tale, after driving south in the wee hours, I searched on a gorgeously perfect Thursday at the ocean edge for 6 hours unsuccessfully, mostly with a wonderful Texas birder that I met there at session start, Bob Mustell (who had to leave a good bit before I did). We searched the entire area up and down, and around and around, multiple times from under the Hwy 182/Perdido Pass bridge (including scoping to the north all across the water there), and along all of the beaches and out to Alabama Point, but sadly no bird for us.
I got back to the car (Bob had already left for Texas) during the last minute or three of the checklist, packed up the scope, and was just about to back out of the parking space and depart, when I noticed five Laughing Gulls drop down onto a fresh water puddle in the asphalt on the other side of the parking lot (at 30.2767356, -87.5506165) about 30 feet in front and slightly to the left of where I was looking out of the front windshield, right at 5:38PM.
The gulls elicited a super brief flash of hope for a second but immediately I was once more fairly forlornly watching “Only Laughing Gulls” and that really “This Is No Laughing Matter” (as I had told Bob earlier)!
Then all at once Genuine Alabama Birding Magic blossomed forth filling the air resplendently! A few more Laughing Gulls dropped in to drink from the puddle and almost miraculously The Sought After GRAY GULL was suddenly among them all!
I was completely stunned and amazed at the odds and the likelihood and the very close appearance of the very handsome gull! The bird had come exactly to me, after 360 minutes of fruitless searching, and at the last available moment! I managed to jump out of the car and raise my phone and start a 33-second video as the gulls cavorted and circled around the parking area, and The GRAY GULL floated virtually over my head and my car not 30 feet up and away! In only a minute it flew toward and under the bridge disappearing as it probably headed to its nightly roost maybe just beyond the bridge out on the islets near the coves in the bay there just to the north, where we had been scoping a large gull roost on Walker Island off and on for most of the day!
All of those GBS symptoms instantly abated, replaced by a deeply pervading warm and glowing cascade of supremely premium Alabama (and North American) birding goodness, joy and happiness which fully dissipated and banished any and all of the day's pent up and unsatisfied birding yearning!
The Florida Ornithological Society (FOS) posted on their Facebook, on 1/21/2024, that the current YELLOW-HEADED CARACARA, along with other new to the ABA Area, and to Florida HOUSE CROW, GREAT WHITE PELICAN, and GRAY GULL, have all already been voted on and added to the Official Florida Checklist (maybe not yet published though)!
Then again, and becoming a phenomenon, from November 30 through December 18, 2023, (and in the same area also all through 2024 so far):
https://ebird.org/checklist/S155613770
I was the first to find the bird across the water in a new area east of the Oleta River State Park near the ocean in the Haulover Inlet and Beach area on 1/13/2024:
IMHO Chasing Advice for the GRAY GULL:
Start at first light, stationary at 30.277540, -87.551416, on the beach almost under the Hwy 182/Perdido Pass bridge, after paying to park at 30.276979, -87.550728
IMHO Chasing Advice for the YELLOW-HEADED CARACARA:
Read all of the eBird reports for the bird since Novem,ber 30th 2023 to get an accuaret feel for what time of day the bird might seen where, and then dedicate as many days as possible to the chase!

What stunningly amazing birds to see in the Georgia-bordering states of Alabama and Florida!
A Prosperous and Happy Spring Migration, Best, and Good Birding to All,
