Itinerary: | |||||||
We'll meet at 7:30 finish between 10:00 and 10:30. We're joing Atlanta Audubon Society (AAS) on one of their Fall migration walks. Giff Beaton and/or Chuck Salleby of AAS will be leading us. Expect many other birders (anywhere from 20 - 124; hopefully not that many, but last Spring that's how many showed up on one of the migration walks). Bring BINOCULARS, if you don't your enjoyment will be slim. Birding focus: Kennesaw is one of the best places in the eastern United States to find fall migrants in September, including warblers, tanagers, vireos, thrushes, and flycatchers. The 3,000-acre Kennesaw National Battlefield Park is the first location in Georgia to be designated by the Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area (http://www.atlantaaudubon.org/iba/index.htm). | |||||||
