Jerry Brunner today reported a HENSLOW'S SPARROW from the Johnson's Ferry
Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The bird was seen
in the field in front of the former raft rental facility. The park can be
reached by driving north on Johnson's Ferry Road from Sandy Springs. It is
located just as you pass the Chattahoochee River on the right. Directions
can also be found in Giff Beaton's "Birding Georgia".
Al Mercer also today reported a HENSLOW'S SPARROW from the Cochran Shoals
Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The bird was seen
off to the left in the wet field adjacent to the bathrooms halfway between
the Columns Drive entrance to the park and the I-285/Interstate North
Parkway entrance. This site can also be found in Giff Beaton's "Birding
Georgia". The field is very wet and boots are suggested.
