immature birds were seen again on July 24th. This is the first sighting of the
species in about 18 or 19 years, once confirmed and accepted. Directions are as
follows, find the Chickamuaga National Battlefield Park, [DeLorme: p. 12, grid
B-4], in north Georgia. From the Visitor Center, go .2 miles south and turn left
on Alexander Bridge Road. Go 1.3 miles and turn left on Brotherton Road. Go .5
miles and park at the sign for Bragg's Headquarters. The birds were seen near
the cannons between .3 and .5 miles.

Jim Flynn and Earl Horn reported finding a LARK SPARROW in Turner County, near
the community of Rebecca. Turner County is north of Tifton and south of Cordelle

CR 72 just north of the intersection with CR 49. It was on a powerline on the
west side of CR72 and flew across the road in to a crop field. This is not a
record early date but is only six days after a record early date. It is a winter
plumaged bird, it is not a full adult breeding plumaged bird. See a report
