[TN-Bird] NW GA-27Mar09

Jim,
Please forward to GABO for me, as I am not a subscriber.

Spurred on by Jim Flynn's post from yesterday, and thinking if the rains did 
come, which they did, I could at least see the two tundra swans.? Had them 
about 9am at the previously described spot on GA 157 within about 1-1.5 miles 
north of the Walker-Chattooga county line.? Had no luck with the yellowlegs Jim 
described, but did have 3 wild turkeys just north of the pond where the swans 
were.? A check of Queen City Lake was a dud, with 3 male Mallards, 1 PB grebe, 
and no swallows!? What a difference a day and rain make.? Missed the loggerhead 
shrike on Hog Jowl Road in Walker Co, but did pick up 3 pine siskins at a 
feeder there.? Also, had a Northern rough-winged swallow in a field by a silo 
on Andrews Lane, just off Hog Jowl Road, and when I stopped to put the bins on 
the swallow, about 20 Wilson's snipe flushed from the wet field.? Finally, 
taking Hwy 341 back to Chickamauga produced purple martins.? Several new GA 
year birds and 5 new Walker Co birds put me over the 100 mark
 .
