Subject: Huie weekend birders
From: Carol Lambert <CLambert(AT)CCWA1.COM>
Date: 29 Apr 2008 9:35am
Since there will be many women and youth birders out this weekend, and I
assume a good number will come through the CCWA sites, please remember
birding etiquette. There were problems last year late in the day, when
both adults and kids overstayed their welcome, especially on the Wetlands
Center trail. I know it's tempting to stay later, but don't. The facility
closes at 7pm and all visitors must be off the trail and on the road by
then. You may not park on the road, climb over the gate, have a vehicle in
the lot or physically be on the property after 7pm. The Huie ponds &
Shamrock, Blalock, Smith reservoirs close at 8pm. All of these sites open
at 7am. Enjoy the birds and have fun.

Subject: Athens Yard Birds
From: Clark Jones <jonesc(AT)WARNELL.UGA.EDU>
Date: 29 Apr 2008 9:18am
For the past 7 days there have been several Cape May warblers and Scarlet
Tanagers in the back yard.
Since Sunday there has been a Black-throated blue singing in the canopy and
Catbirds invaded the neighborhood.
This morning Rose-breasted grosbeaks were in the tree tops and a male Northern
Bobwhite quail was scratching in the weeds in the corner of the backyard. The
first sign of the quail came before I had my coffee so that's hardly a reliable
way to identify a bird. After a few cups, I was taking the recycling bins to
the curb and heard it calling. I live inside loop 10 in Athens so this was a
bit surprising. My backyard is full of Tulip Poplars, Water Oaks, and
cane....not exactly NOBO habitat.

This was a great trip. Thanks so much to our leader for accomodating

interested in butterflies than birds.

Subject: junior rangers
From: Jason Baumgardner <jbaum79(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 29 Apr 2008 2:51pm
The AJC today had a feature about local kids working on their junior
ranger badges, and it mentioned how some were participating in the bird
banding at Panola State Park. It had a photo of a young girl holding a
sparrow and you can see the banding station in the background. Anyway,
that is great to see, and it is very encouraging to see kids getting
involved in nature in a hands-on way. A poster was recently lamenting
the lack of young birders-I see it as more of a broader lack of young
people learning about nature in general. I knew someone else in East
Tennessee whose young son was getting started in the junior ranger
program throught the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Sounds like
a great program to me!

As a park ranger, I can attest that many many kids participate in the Jr. Ranger
Program, and hopefully that number will increase every year. Cindy Reittenger,
our Interpretive Specialist over state parks has really done a great job of
revamping the program, and making it easier for kids to get involved. But you
are right, kids are less and less involved with nature, and it all goes back to
what they are taught at home. We have had kids up to middle school age who have
gone on our field trips, and almost panic at the thought of walking into a
forest, the concept is that alien to them.

A pair of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks arrived in my yard on Sunday and stayed

Subject: Tiny Killdeer in Cherokee County
From: Parrie Pinyan <pjnkodi(AT)MINDSPRING.COM>
Date: 29 Apr 2008 9:41pm
Just after two o'clock today we spotted a "Mama" (or "Daddy") Killdeer with
three or four "chicks".
They were crossing Bart Manous Road near Hwy 140. Most were well-behaved,
but one wanted to keep running down the side of the road--even though I
beeped.
So we chased it into the grass where it hunkered down. "Mama" was having a
hissy fit! Hope they are safe.
Tiny, precious chicks--reminded me a little of tiny Bobwhite Quail. (And how
I miss the Quail.)

Subject: Bartow County birding
From: Brandon Best <sandfalcon(AT)GMAIL.COM>
Date: 29 Apr 2008 10:00pm
Greetings all,
This morning (29 April) after birding Kennesaw Mountain I headed up to
Bartow County. I went down Brandon Farm Road. Directly across from the
mobile home park (or near where the three transmission towers are right next
to the road), there were about 300 BOBOLINKS present. Some were up close to
the road but most were a couple hundred yards out. Also present in this
field was one calling NORTHERN BOBWHITE, a handful of ORCHARD ORIOLES, and
one SAVANNAH SPARROW.
At the pond further down on Brandon Farm Rd, I found 3 LESSER YELLOWLEGS, 2
GREATER YELLOWLEGS, and 2 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS.
Going on around to Taff Rd, at the first big pond, I found 40 LEAST
SANDPIPERS, 10 LESSER YELLOWLEGS and a pair of NORTHERN SHOVELORS.
