The big pond on the west side of US 17 has been lowered but water remains all around the edges. Friday the 14th was a wonderful display of many of our coastal beauties! The black bellied whistling duck population this year is spectacular on both sides of US 17. No eagles nor wood storks sited though. The morning run went by the Dairy Barn platform and other near it, around the aforementioned pond, and the platform on the west side of 17 at the Ansley Hodges Memorial area. If you are in the area, come on up!

Hey all! Today marks day 40 of the invasion of the MIKI around my house. One or two come daily to a particular tree, within easy viewing a relatively decent photographing. Every morning I check and every morning it's there, early. Then on occasion I will see one or two other times of the day if I am around. I have no idea where they are nesting but can't be far off.

Date: 6/2/19 3:04 pm From: Angie Jenkins <angeliabeth...> Subject: [GABO-L] AAS Bird Walk Trip Report Noonday Creek Trail / Cobb Co
Hello Birders,
A hot and not so hot day today. Temps were around 88 this morning while we birded the Noonday Creek Trail. We were missing a few regulars and then we made up for those with a few nice finds that we don't get every day ~ a Cuckoo fly over, King Bird, and Yellow Crowned Night Heron.
With this heat it already feels like late Summer when the birds are not so vocal. But we were still able to enjoy our morning with a new birder (just retired). Seeing the GBHE beside the Yellow Crowned was a nice comparison and we were lucky to catch a couple Green Heron fishing along the trail perched about the creek. Some patches of the wetland are not completely dry but getting close so this brought the Heron out from the edges to fish.

Date: 6/2/19 8:53 am From: Barlow, Stephen <stephen.barlow...> Subject: [GABO-L] Connecticut Warbler
Just before 9 am this morning (Jun 2) I had brief but close views of a rather late female Conn. Warbler at the E Palisades in Atlanta.
I doubt the bird is relocatable since there’s tons of potential habitat and, being a female, it wasn’t singing. Indeed, I lost it and couldn’t refind in 10 min or so of waiting. However, for what it’s worth, it was on the trail just SW of trail junction EP4 (the nomenclature from the NPS signs), in the vegetation between the trail and the river just below where a side channel rejoins the main river.
Cheers

I spotted a Great Crested Flycatcher yesterday and today and then a yellow-breasted chat flew into the yard to perch nicely in my crepe myrtle. I've not seen a chat in about 2 years so I'm a happy camper.
Also, I had a song sparrow and 2 chipping sparrows this morning. I've never spotted these sparrows here in summer.

It sure has been a while since I posted. Too bad I don't have any good sightings to report on. But as spring migration peters away, and you find yourselves a bit under-dosed on birding, consider completing this short survey for a Boise State PhD candidate:
Here is the info on the study for those interested:
How do Individual Values, Attitudes, Knowledge, Skills, and Norms Predict Bird Conservation Behaviors Among Birders in the United States?
May 20, 2019
I am working on a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Boise State University. Through my research, I’m interested in discovering the link between the attributes of individual birders in the United States and the type and intensity of bird conservation action they take. Results will be used to improve public policies for bird conservation.
I am asking you and the members of your organization or partnership to complete this online survey.
Participation is voluntary, no personally identifiable information will be collected, and all responses will be kept confidential. This study is for educational purposes only and involves no foreseeable serious risks. Data will be accessible only to me and my advisory committee and will be used to produce scholarly and popular publications on the topic. If there are any questions that make you uncomfortable or that you would prefer not to answer, just skip over those. You may discontinue the survey at any time. This survey will require 10-12 minutes of your time.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me:
Terry Rich
208-867-5112
<terrellrich...>
You may also contact my Committee Chair:
Dr. Monica Hubbard
208-426-5147
<monicahubbard...>
If you have questions about your rights as a research participant, you may contact the Boise State University Institutional Review Board (IRB), which is concerned with the protection of volunteers in research projects. You may reach the board office between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, by calling (208) 426-5401 or by writing: Institutional Review Board, Office of Research Compliance, Boise State University, 1910 University Dr., Boise, ID 83725-1138.
If you would prefer not to participate, please ignore this request.
See y'all out there!

Date: 5/23/19 5:29 am From: Joshua Spence <spencejoshua...> Subject: [GABO-L] Connecticut Warbler ~ Murray County
Yesterday, I spent several hours in the Cohutta Foothills of Murray County searching for breeding birds. Among other sites, I drove a portion of Tatum Lead Rd, which runs along a ridge for several miles and connects with the Pinhoti Trail. This road can be accessed from HWY 52 east of Fort Mountain State Park. It is the last road on the right before leaving Murray County. Tatum Lead goes south along the county boundary and switches in and out of Murray into Gilmer County. This makes things difficult if you're a county lister.
I tallied 47 species for the day, the best bird being a bonus CONNECTICUT WARBLER about 1.9 miles down Tatum Lead. This area is vast wilderness and where I was specifically was predominantly hardwood canopy with a consistent, but not an impenetrable understory. There was no water here, so no riparian zones. Below are the details from my eBird entry on the bird:
"I was very surprised to find this species in such a thick forest. While walking along the road, I saw a bird about 10' from me fly off the ground from some roadside vegetation into a young Sourwood. I was expecting another Ovenbird. I moved closer and the bird was about 15' from me at eye level and was unobstructed by vegetation, branches, etc. The warbler displayed the distinct gray-bluish hood, that came down to a bib on the breast, contrasting with the palish yellow below. Longish bill and "complete bold" white eyering that contrasted sharply with the surrounding gray face. The upperparts were darker olive. The duration of the observation lasted about 5-10 seconds and the bird darted down the slope in the forest understory. It did not call or sing and I did not see it again though I searched several minutes. The gray hood looked to be darker than what one would expect in a female.......but I can't be sure of its gender."
I wouldn't think the bird would be relocatable due to the nature of the sighting, with the bird not alerting me of its presence by singing, and the area being so vast and difficult for humans to move around in to chase the bird. If anyone does check out this site, be warned it is a narrow rough dirt road. A truck or SUV is a must.
Other highlights from the area:
Broad-winged Hawk
White-eyed Vireo - unusual in the Cohuttas
Swainson's Thrush
Yellow-breasted Chat - unusual in the Cohuttas, recent clearcut
Ovenbird - at least 17 and some displaying distraction behavior
Worm-eating Warbler - 2
Black-and-white Warbler - 16
Hooded Warbler -13
Yellow-throated Warbler - 2
Black-throated Green Warbler - 24
Scarlet Tanager - 6

Today we saw a strange tiny bird in our driveway just East of Canton. Maybe some kind of exotic finch. Looks like Zebra Finch from photos online. Maybe escaped pet. I have photos. Let me know if you are missing a bet exotic bird.
