Date: 5/7/24 7:27 pm From: Joshua Spence <joshuastephenspence...> Subject: [GABO-L] American Avocet report - Carters Lake
This is a report from April 19th, 2024. I thought it might be a nice addition to the listserv archives, so I'll share it below.
At approximately 10:30am, I was scanning the Carters Lake Reservoir from the Cove Rd. picnic shelter. Suddenly, I saw a group of birds coming up from the lake to the right of the peninsula where I was standing. Thinking that they were probably ducks, I raised my bins and was surprised to see a flock of American Avocets flying over the water in a loose V or U shape. I only got to observe them for a few seconds before I lost them behind the trees. Thinking that they were leaving the site I relocated to Marina Rd, searching the sky for the flock. Though I was standing in Murray County when I observed them, they were actually to the east of the county line in Gilmer County. This appears to be the first county record for Gilmer, so that was a very cool way to add that species to a county that I never really expected to observe them in.
I continued searching for the flock at the Carters Lake Marina with no success and I assumed that they had continued south over the surrounding forest. My mind quickly thought of the possibility that the avocets could circle west and drop down to the regulation pool and more specifically an exposed mud bar near the HWY 136 bridge. Even more specifically, I was excited of the prospect of observing them in Murray County, since I'd never added them to my home county list. I had chased avocets at Carters many years before. Cheryl Kanes, Max Medley and Becky Valentine observed some on a mudflat on the 27th of September, 2007. I even posted it on GABO and that I was about to chase them.....
I missed them! For over 16 years I've been checking the lake hoping that I would get this nemesis county bird. I missed another opportunity on September 16th, 2011 when Patrick Addy and the Healeys (Jim & Allison) observed nine avocets at the rereg. Their observation was much like mine in that the birds circled the lake looking for a place to land......to no avail.
Back to the present......I arrived quickly at the HWY 136 Bridge to find......NO AVOCETS. No mud bar. The rereg pool was the highest that it has been all spring long. I relocated to the rereg dam....no avocets. I tried from the Powerhouse boatramp.......no avocets. I basically gave up. I had to go to Woodring Branch, and while there I scanned the lake and Harris Beach for the birds.......no avocets.
Finally, I made it back to the Nature Center. Around 4:20pm, and I'm looking east over the reservoir and see a dark spot on the lake. I wondered if it was a raft of birds. I lift my bins and AVOCETS! Lots of avocets. I grab my scope and get a count of at least 32 floating in a tight raft on the deepest manmade lake east of the Mississippi. I was able to get crappy, but diagnostic photos through my scope. These birds were anywhere from 2100' to 2700' from where I was standing. I showed them to a few bystanders then rushed back to Cove Rd., where I began the day, to check to see what county they were in.
I'm there by 4:42pm and scanning the lake from the picnic shelter, I find the birds, recount them to confirm there's 32. I pull up google maps and double check the county line and they are indeed on the westside of the line, placing them in Murray County by less than 1000'. Success! This tic is my 255th Murray County species and one that I had been hoping for. Suddenly, they began to lift and circle around and I realized that the birds had probably came straight back after my earlier observation to rest on the lake. I know avocets can float and swim, but I've always associated them with more shallow situations. There had been a predawn storm that morning and these were no doubt a product of that.
As they flew around the lake they entered Gilmer County and then came back to set down in Murray. They did this several times and were still in the vicinity when I left. I moved around a bit on Cove Road to try different angles, but it was difficult to do through the trees. Those who have birded this area in the past will remember how it can produce a great county-listing opportunity if a bird is moving around quite a bit. One such occasion was in June 2007, when a S0uth P0lar Skua1 showed up and several birders got it in both Murray and Gilmer Counties. Good times!
Anyway, it was a great day. Getting avocets in two mountain region counties was a surprise. Now the significance of the record based on ecoregions is worth mentioning. This appears to only be the second Blue Ridge record for the American Avocet in GA. The first record is from last year: 22-27 November, 2023; Fields Landing, Cherokee County (Lazenby). The interesting aspect of both sightings is that about a decade ago these would've been considered to be Piedmont records, but since the repositioning of the geological boundaries, this is now Blue Ridge (Metasedimentary Mountains). Interesting stuff......especially considering that the Carters Lake birds were most likely migrating through further west when the storm pushed them east and they took refuge on the reservoir.
I hope this was an interesting read.
Take care,
Joshua Spence,
Murray County

Our day started off at 8am hoping to see migrants. It was pretty much a bust. Oh well. We decided to go got a walk. We found a walk near Talking Rock that looked easy and short. We did not expect to see many birds.
Well… it turned out to be one of the best birding spots ever!! As soon as we got out of the car we heard a bird symphony!! The walk was really nice also. We had the whole thing to ourselves also.
Some of the birds we saw or heard…
Eastern- Wood Peewee
Yellow Throated Vireo
Chestnut Sided Warbler
Black and White Warbler
Red Eyed Vireo
Indigo Bunting
Redstart
Yellow Warbler
Ovenbird
Balckburnian Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
Yellow Breasted Chat
Blue headed Vireo
Broad Winged Hawk
Tennessee Warbler
The walk is Eagle Rest Trail in Eagle Rest Park. It is called Eagle Rest Trail at Mount Oglethorpe on All Trails.
Highly recommended!!

Thanks Terry—we were very aware of their presence on Sapelo (a friend got a much better look, and he’s been looking for them on Sapelo for years). Our doubts were because we didn’t get a good look at that one, and didn’t expect them to be on the mainland. And I tend to be a conservative birder. With two degrees in biology I think it’s totally feasible that a bird from sapelo could be found in suitable habitat nearby, but I’m too much of a pessimist to think that we’d be the first to spot them :-)

We’re aware how unlikely it might be to encounter that species at Wormsloe, several miles from Sapelo and Blackbeard, but we simply couldn’t think of any other species that fit the bird we saw. I’m posting this for the consideration of those with more experience with this species. We were in a group that encountered a chachalaca on Sapelo last fall, but neither of us got more than a brief glimpse from inside a van.

About halfway along that road there is a plot of longleaf pines about 20’ tall on one side, and a pollinator field on the other side. Suddenly a large dark bird burst out of one of the pines, cackling raucously, flew about 50-100 feet, and crashed back into the cover of the pines. It was large and dark, and as we recovered from our surprise we both ran through candidates: larger than a Pileated, and the wrong call. Didn’t see any red, and the tail seemed bulky and almost as long as the bulky body. It reminded me of pheasants I’ve seen a few times the way it cackled loudly as it flew, but much bulkier tail (and drab dark plumage). Our next thought was a turkey, but we both seen dozens, and this wasn’t as large, and the alarm call was wrong. The call sounded like those of the chachalaca (pitch and pattern), but we didn’t see any white at the edges of the tail. Unfortunately we got no photo or recording.

Date: 5/6/24 6:03 am From: Steve Hilliard <sghilliard...> Subject: [GABO-L] Plain chachalaca at Wormsloe Historic site?
Fellow birders,
With some hesitation my wife Amy Edwards and I submitted an eBird checklist yesterday with a plain chachalaca on it. We’re aware how unlikely it might be to encounter that species at Wormsloe, several miles from Sapelo and Blackbeard, but we simply couldn’t think of any other species that fit the bird we saw. I’m posting this for the consideration of those with more experience with this species. We were in a group that encountered a chachalaca on Sapelo last fall, but neither of us got more than a brief glimpse from inside a van.
We had ridden the new shuttle in from the visitors center to the tabby ruins, birded the homesite, and continued as we walked the 1.5 mile live oak alley back to the gate about 4pm. About halfway along that road there is a plot of longleaf pines about 20’ tall on one side, and a pollinator field on the other side. Suddenly a large dark bird burst out of one of the pines, cackling raucously, flew about 50-100 feet, and crashed back into the cover of the pines. It was large and dark, and as we recovered from our surprise we both ran through candidates: larger than a Pileated, and the wrong call. Didn’t see any red, and the tail seemed bulky and almost as long as the bulky body. It reminded me of pheasants I’ve seen a few times the way it cackled loudly as it flew, but much bulkier tail (and drab dark plumage). Our next thought was a turkey, but we both seen dozens, and this wasn’t as large, and the alarm call was wrong. The call sounded like those of the chachalaca (pitch and pattern), but we didn’t see any white at the edges of the tail. Unfortunately we got no photo or recording.
We debated, and decided to share this sighting not for credit (I wouldn’t blame anyone for doubting it) but in the hopes that it might be confirmed or disproven in the next few days or weeks. Good birding.

Date: 5/4/24 1:28 pm From: Joshua Spence <joshuastephenspence...> Subject: [GABO-L] Catoosa County Bird Records
I haven't had a chance to post recently, but I wanted to make one about a few sightings at the Sim's Sod Farm in Catoosa County over the last few months. All these were reported on eBird and were listed on the RBA. This sod farm has been productive over the last several years. I've made several trips up this year and these four species were good sightings for Catoosa:
American Golden Plover - 3/18/24 - 2nd county record, 1st spring record
Upland Sandpiper - 2 birds, 4/15/24, 1st county record
Lapland Longspur - discovered on 3/17/24 by Team DuBois/Burgess/Lenz, I was able to relocate it on 3/18, which may be a statewide late date for this species.
Brewers Blackbird - 4/2/24 - 2nd county record
Take care,
Joshua Spence,

Hey, all!
This begins year six of having Mississippi Kites in my neighborhood here in the southern portion of Fayette County. This one showed up today, flying with its amazing wing movements and whistling as though to announce its return. And, yes, stopped in the exact same tree it hung out in last year and the year before. The other years it hung out in a tree next to it we had to take down before it fell on our driveway. This one may do the same but it's our neighbor's, not ours.I hope they leave it.
We have three tall trees in our front yard, one of which held their nesting spot last year. I have a clear (ish) view of it and hope they use the same spot again. Time will tell.
Haooy Spring Birding, Everyone!

Request for assistance – song recordings of migrating Mourning Warblers
I am posting my annual opportunity to participate in a Citizens Science Project that involves recording migrating Mourning Warbler songs.I am trying to determine the nature of migratory pathways taken by different song populations of Mourning Warbler males during their spring migration.I am continuing to collect your recordings and plot them on a map of North America to determine if and where birds with different song types (regiolects) separate from each other during spring migration.The most current map of songs of migrants is at the web site below.
All you need is a Smartphone and a singing Mourning Warbler.You can send the recordings to my e-mail address (jpitocch AT anselm.edu).The web page link below describes the project and how to make recordings on your Smartphone in more detail.
This year is the 10^th and final year of data collection.I very much appreciate your past and present contributions to this Citizens Science Project.

Saturday, May 11th is World Migratory Bird Day also known as Global Big Day. I hope everyone is able to get into the field and submit a few checklists. We are holding a Spring Migration Count that day at Carters Lake, Murray/Gilmer Counties. If anyone is interested in participating, feel free to join us. If you need more info or want to register, just contact me . We are simultaneously conducting a butterfly count for the NABA, so if you're into insects, I think it would be very enjoyable. It is Mother's Day Weekend, and might be a nice outing with your mother.
Thanks,

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!
