Joshua Spence also reports seeing a Black-bellied Plover on 5/11/06 in North
GA
southwest Murray County, at Boukarts Sod Farm on the southside of the road.
It is located in DeLorme 13 E-9 on a Center Hill-Ballground Rd.
This road goes through the farm.
He also reports a Mourning Warbler on the same day,
near the Power House at Carters Lake south of Chatsworth
Drive about 2.25 miles north on OLD HWY (GA) 411
from its junction with Hwy 136. Go past current entrance to the
re-regulation area
and take a right onto Powerhouse Rd.
Drive down this road until you reach the open brushy field.
Take the first road on the right that loops around the field.
Drive pass the Maintenance building & gravel piles and park where the road
splits. The bird was in the brushy area on the right. There are several
small trees. Look for a Honey Locust. It sang 10-15 times.
He was able to attract the bird back several times using the Stokes Birdsong
CD.
See Giff Beaton's Birding GA book, pg 41 for a map of the area.
