A third Georgia record BROAD-BILLED HUMMINGBIRD was last seen on the morning of
Monday, 28 July at the Hardy residence at 119 Lake Jennifer Drive in Americus,
Sumter Co. in the SW region of the state. The bird was noted to be absent on the
morning of Tuesday, 29 July during hours when it had been regularly visiting
feeders on previous days, and may have moved on.

RED CROSSBILLS have been seen at the Kilby residence in NW Rabun Co. as recently
as 27 July, when at least two were observed. About 7.9 miles west of Clayton on
the north side (right) of US Hwy 76, turn onto Persimmon Rd. Continue
several miles until you pass Jim Keener Ln on your left. After passing this
road, the second home on your right (with a "10 Commandments" poster at the
driveway) is hosting the birds. As of 27 July at least a few birds were still
being seen sporadically at a residence in White Co. near Tray Mountain north of
Helen. COMPILER NOTE: If anyone visits the Rabun Co. Red Crossbills – or any
future reliable Red Crossbill sites (feeders) in the state of Georgia – and you
have any device capable of making digital audio/video recordings please make an
attempt to record the birds.
Contact Ken Blankenship if you have any recordings of this species made in
Georgia in the past or in the future.

On 27 July an AMERICAN BITTERN was heard "singing" at Joe Kurz WMA in Meriwether
Co. This is primarily a wintering species in Georgia, and if considered an
arriving bird this is more than a week earlier than the previous early date of 7
August (1948, 1988). However, the species is considered rare in summer in the
Coastal Plain, and although Meriwether Co. is in the lower Piedmont this may
pertain to a summering bird.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R7235
On 27 July CEDAR WAXWINGS were observed in Rabun Co., including an adult feeding
a young bird.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R7056
On 26 July as many as five "Worthington’s" MARSH WRENS were observed near the
bridge to Jekyll Island in Glynn Co. This sub-species is a permanent resident in
coastal South Carolina and Georgia, is quite drab gray overall, lacking the rich
brownish or rufous tones of the nominate Eastern form, and may show some barring
in the flanks.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R7022
A nice count for the Mountains region, 8 GREAT EGRETS were observed on private
property in Chattooga Co. on 27 July.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R7474
A nice report from Altamaha WMA in McIntosh Co. on 24 July included BLACK-
BELLIED WHISTLING DUCKS, 2 LEAST BITTERNS, 5 ROSEATE SPOONBILLS, 4 AMERICAN
COOTS (a rare Georgia breeding bird though no evidence of nesting was observed),
a STILT SANDPIPER, MOTTLED DUCKS, a KING RAIL, and GLOSSY IBIS.

This spring and summer have been quite exceptional for RED CROSSBILLS in the
state of Georgia, with many more reports than average. Birds have been seen at
the Kilby residence in NW Rabun Co. as recently as 20 July, when at least three
were heard and seen in the surrounding trees. About 7.9 miles west of Clayton on
the north side (right) of US Hwy 76, turn onto Persimmon Rd. Continue several
miles until you pass Jim Keener Ln on your left. After passing this road, the
second home on your right (with a "10 Commandments" poster at the driveway) is
hosting the birds. On 19 July, three male RED CROSSBILLS were found consuming
grit at a gravel parking area for the Bartram Trail at the GA Hwy 28 bridge over
the Chattooga River at the South Carolina border. Another bird was found just
inside SC.
A third bird was located just northwest of this location at the intersection of
Overflow Creek Rd and Warwoman Rd (all GA locations are in NE Rabun Co.). A
flock of up to 6 RED CROSSBILLS continues as of 20 July at a residence in White
Co. near Tray Mountain north of Helen; the species has been seen consistently at
these feeders since late May.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R5270
On 19 July a PINE SISKIN was heard and seen in a field at the intersection
(fork) of Hale Ridge Rd and Bald Mountain Rd in extreme north-central Rabun Co.
This species has also been seen (and photographed) this summer at the Kilby
residence Red Crossbill location, and a single bird was seen at the White Co.
Red Crossbill location on 1 June. Nesting of this species in extreme north
Georgia, however likely, has not been confirmed. Thus, any sightings of PINE
SISKINS in the state from May through August are quite significant and should
always be reported.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R5270
Two MONK PARAKEETS made appearances at feeders at a residence in an unspecified
area of the eastern Coastal Plain region and were reported on 19 July. This
species is not an officially recognized naturally-occurring Georgia bird, and
may represent cage escapees.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R5126
A nice report from Jekyll Island south beach on 19 July showed signs of fall
migration getting underway, including an early SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, 10 COMMON
TERNS, and 2 BLACK TERNS.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R5193
On 19 July, 2 AMERICAN REDSTARTS were seen on Lover's Lane in Augusta, an
interesting sighting which may represent early migrants, post breeding
wanderers, or local breeding birds.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R5239
On 19 July a report from Phinizy Swamp Nature Park in Richmond Co. included 4
WOOD STORKS, 7 PAINTED BUNTINGS, and 3 BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING- DUCKS.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R5154
On 18 July an OSPREY was reported from Athens-Clarke County.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R4855
Another hint of fall migration was a very early NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, which was
seen in McIntosh Co. near the coastal town of Darien on 17 July.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R4799&m=26074

Compiler and transcriber note: As more avid birders report their sightings to
the online ListServ GABO-L, our knowledge of Georgia's birds continues to
expand. This can be particularly true for breeding birds, such as CEDAR WAXWING,
SCARLET TANAGER, and YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON. These species have been
reported, sometimes with direct evidence of nesting, on several occasions this
spring and summer from locations that we do not commonly associate with
breeding. Again, rather than being "rare" or "accidental" in these areas, it is
more likely that thanks to more birders recognizing and reporting their presence
at this time of year we are gaining a better understanding of the distribution
of these birds in the state, and/or how it may be changing.
On 13 July a belated report of a successful breeding pair of HOODED MERGANSERS
came from private property in Cobb Co.; fledglings were seen well into the month
of June. More recently on the same property, one adult and five immature LITTLE
BLUE HERONS have been seen along with two immature YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R3471
Originally reported on 8 July, an apparently injured SANDHILL CRANE continues as
of 15 July in a small wetlands in an office park in Gwinnett Co.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R4280
On 12 July a SCARLET TANAGER was reported from the Pine Mountain Trail in
Meriwether Co. This area, which extends into Harris Co. and features property
belonging to FDR State Park and Callaway Gardens, features unique higher
elevations associated with Pine Mountain ridge, yet is surrounded by typical low
elevations of the lower Piedmont. Scarlet Tanager is one of a few species that
have been reported already from this location this nesting season that we
normally associate with the Mountains region and upper Piedmont, including
Black-throated Green Warbler and Ovenbird.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R3277
On 11 July a KING RAIL was reported from the Cochran Shoals Unit of the
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Cobb Co.; the species may have
bred here. Also seen were two LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES, a pair of ORCHARD
ORIOLES, and a female/immature AMERICAN REDSTART which is likely a very early
migrant. At the same location on 12 July, the ORCHARD ORIOLE nest was located
with young, and a YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was seen.

Three AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS were seen in Americus in Sumter Co. on a private
pond for an unusual inland record away from a major reservoir.

record.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0806&L=gabo-l&P=R9036
MISSISSIPPI KITES, as many as nine, were re-located on 21 June and a few were
seen on 4 July at 133 Colonial Dr and a few adjacent yards in the Beechwood
Hills neighborhood in Athens, Clarke Co. It is suggested that earlier in the day
is better to see the birds roosting.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R1002
As many as 14 RED CROSSBILLS were re-located on 4 July coming to feeders at a

of US Hwy 76, turn onto Persimmon Rd. Continue several miles until you pass Jim
Keener Rd on your left. After passing this road, the second home on your right
(with a “10 Commandments” poster at the driveway) is hosting the RED CROSSBILLS.
Kilby is the name on the mailbox. Also seen was a single PINE SISKIN, which is a
rare sighting in GA for summer; it is another a few species which may be nesting
in small numbers in the NE corner of the state but have not been confirmed.

While not a rare species, unusual numbers of SCARLET TANAGERS have been
documented in the north metro Atlanta area during breeding bird counts at
various units of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA). On 19
June two males were singing at the Island Ford Unit. On 1 July three males were
heard singing at the Gold Branch Unit. At the same unit, both a male and female
were seen delivering food to the same dense area of a tree, a strong indication
of nesting. On 3 July a female and a male were seen feeding and then flying off
together at the Jones Bridge Unit.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0807&L=gabo-l&P=R799
A white color morph of the GREAT BLUE HERON, also known as a “GREAT WHITE HERON”
has not been seen since 29 June at the Mercer Wetlands area in Dekalb Co. Birds
observed here on 4 July included YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON (2 immature birds),
GREAT EGRET, SNOWY EGRET, and GREEN HERON. Directions: From I-85 and
Chamblee-Tucker Rd, go south on Chamblee-Tucker Rd a very short distance and
turn right onto Mercer University Dr, then an immediate right onto Flowers Rd
South. Cross over Peachtree Creek, then turn right onto Brandywine Dr and you
will curve around to the left. Park in this area, and across from the Stanford
Building at 2960 Brandywine Dr there is a small opening allowing a view into the
wetlands. You may need to spend some time at this location as the birds move
around and may not always be visible.
http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0806&L=gabo-l&P=R8789
On 4 July as many at 8 DICKCISSELS were found singing along Pine Chapel Rd and
Moss Rd in Gordon Co. Several GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS were also seen. Just north of
this location on Pine Chapel Rd a pair of CEDAR WAXWINGS were found, one of
which was carrying nesting material.

A white color morph of the GREAT BLUE HERON, also known as a “GREAT WHITE HERON”
was present as of 29 Jun at the Mercer Wetlands area in Dekalb Co. Both
YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON and GREEN HERON have nested in this area; the former
is a rare and local breeder in the Piedmont. Also present sporadically at this
location are several other waders including GREAT EGRET, and a rare opportunity
for Atlanta area birders to study the subtle differences in field marks between
immature LITTLE BLUE HERONS and immature SNOWY EGRETS. Directions: From I-85 and
Chamblee-Tucker Rd, go south on Chamblee-Tucker Rd a very short distance and

On 28 Jun, two LEAST FLYCATCHERS were found in Georgia, and an additional three
birds were in North Carolina. The GA birds were calling near the fork of Hale
Ridge Rd and Bald Mountain Rd in Rabun Co., and relating to conifers and oak
trees in front of two residences there. On Overflow Creek Rd nearby, two
RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES were found as well as a very rare GA summer record of a
GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET.

A flock of at least 11 RED CROSSBILLS was re-located on Persimmon Rd in Rabun
Co. on 28 Jun. The birds are relating to feeders at a residence; the owners are
aware of the birds and of birders being present. Please stay either on the road
shoulder or a short distance down the gravel driveway if you try for these
birds. One RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH was found on gravel Patterson Gap Rd, which
incidentally is what Persimmon Rd turns into if you continue to follow it a few
miles past the Red Crossbill location. Directions: From US Hwy 76 west of
Clayton (and just east of the bridge over the upper end of Lake Burton), head
north on Persimmon Rd for several miles until you pass Jim Keener Rd on your
left. The next home on your right with a “10 Commandments” poster at the
driveway is hosting the RED CROSSBILLS.
On 25 Jun a MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD was seen flying over St. Andrews Sound on
the coast, not far from Cumberland Island.
