Deb Zaremba reports from Kennesaw Mountain north of Marietta in Cobb County
only 11 species of warblers but good numbers of some of them. Also seen
were Summer and Scarlet Tanagers and 2 Baltimore Orioles.
Patrick Brisse reported from Henderson Park in Tucker in Dekalb County that
he had 13 species of warblers and that the Least Flycatcher continues. The
birds were in and around the Mimosas by the dam but the best birding was in
the swampy area on the other side where the creek enters the lake.
Gene Wilkinson in Tattnal County reported 14 Sandhill Cranes flying over his
house. He also saw a Black Tern at the Glennville Wastewater Treatment
