August has passed, and birds are beginning to head south. Groups of migrating American Robins are beginning to appear on lawns. There was another report of the groundhog from the north end of the neighborhood and twice we’ve caught a glimpse of a groundhog-size critter disappearing into the grass on the Nature Trail. Also, we were lucky a few days ago to have a rare daylight visit from one of our resident possums.
A newsletter from the South Fork Conservancy reports that Atlanta Audubon has documented over 75 species of birds on the South Fork of Peachtree Creek! It’s just off Lindbergh, very close to us, and you can go on a guided bird tour of the trail this Saturday, September 3. Atlanta Audubon has more information on their Field Trips page. You’ll need to scroll down to the calendar and click on the “The Confluence” under September 3rd. If you want to join them, they ask that you RSVP.
