Sorry for the late post, but Nell & Dev's recent posts reminded
us.  We made a quick afternoon trip to Eagle Bend Fish Hatchery
on Friday 3/14. The (4) Ross's Geese were gone, but Tree
Swallows were everywhere. At one point we counted 80 on the
utility wires, with 30 more working the ponds.  Also seen were 4
Wilson's Snipes, 4 Blue-winged Teals, 3 Hooded Mergansers (1
female and 2 juveniles), 1 lonely Ring-necked duck, and 9 Great
Blue Herons nesting. 

We made a quick stop-over Sunday 3/16 to Standifer Gap marsh
after a weekend trip to Atlanta to visit relatives.  4 Savannah
sparrows, lots of Red-winged blackbirds and Song sparrows, 1
Red-shouldered hawk (heard) was it, but it was about 4 pm and
very sunny.
