Georgia Bird Fest - Campbellton Park

Leader: Giff Beaton

Limited to 20 participants

Difficulty Level: Easy

Rain Date: Rain or Shine

Campbellton Park is the newest greenspace addition to the city of Chattahoochee Hills, located in the southern portion of Fulton County, and features nearly 2,000 feet of frontage along the Chattahoochee River. Giff Beaton is the author of several books including Birding Georgia, Birds of Kennesaw Mountain, The Breeding Bird Atlas of Georgia, and Dragonflies and Damselflies of Georgia and the Southeast. He will guide the group as we explore the riparian forest, riverbank, and scrubby edges looking for lingering winter birds, returning summer breeders, and migrants passing through. Our species goal for this trip will be 50+, and we will have good chances at several warbler species such as American Redstart, Hooded Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Northern and Louisiana Waterthrush, and Northern Parula. Tanagers, flycatchers, vireos, sparrows, raptors, and perhaps an oriole species or two should also be expected. We'll keep our eyes and ears open for other surprises as well. This is a great opportunity to bird with one of Georgia's top birders and naturalists.
