of three birds passing over Harrington Dr. near Clyde Shepherd Nature
Preserve the morning of 3/2 and three birds (presumably the same birds)
spent at least one afternoon on 3/2 and the morning of 3/3 at the oxbow lake
at the corner of Willeo Rd. and Azalea Dr. near the Chattahoochee Nature
Center in Roswell [DeLorme: p. 20, grid G-3; Birding Georgia: p. 79]. Dan
