Sweetwater Creek State Park, Lithia Springs, Georgia

We went to Atlanta to visit family. We had time one day to drop by Sweetwater Creek State Park. Our target bird was the brown-headed nuthatch, a bird we only learned about the morning of our outing. Its distinctive call made it easy to locate but it took a while to get some good views and photos.

Brown-headed Nuthatch

We also saw birds that frequented our backyard in New Jersey.

Tufted Titmouse



Carolina Chickadee


White-breadted Nuthatch

After birding, we had great chicken and biscuits with a delicious remoulade sauce at the nearby Milk & Honey restaurant.

Delaware Birds

Mike had business in Delaware and found time to go birding along the Brandywine River in Wilmington. It's not quite spring and the migration hadn't started yet. However, it was fun for him to see all the birds we encountered duringNJ winters. Here are some of the best photos.

Northern Cardinal


Ring-necked Duck

He also saw a junco, a pair of bufflehead, a chickadee, and a blue jay and heard a white-breasted nuthatch.
