Jim Dinsmore and I spent this morning birding in Clarke and Monroe counties. We tallied >100 species, including many season firsts, along with these highlights:
1 Cattle Egret in e Clarke Co. 1 Red-shouldered Hawk and 1 Philadelphia Vireo at Woodburn Unit, Stephens State Forest 13 species of warblers including Magnolia, BT Green, and Wilson's an early Dickcissel in Monroe Co. Also, Jim Moreland found a pair of Black-necked Stilts today at Bjorkboda Marsh. This afternoon I easily relocated the pair at the same location. These are one of my favorite birds!
