Hawks, ducks, and flowers in Mason Mill Park

Neighborhood birding

Many bird species are in trouble because of the loss of habitat in Georgia. Lots of birds come to backyards that offer food, water, and/or nesting materials. We found that the birds especially like the coconut fibre linings used for planters. Here are some photos from our backyard and one (the hawk) from Medlock. Feel free to send or upload your own. See the photos in the embedded slideshow below or on Flickr which includes a video of a chickadee gathering nesting materials.

More flower photos from Mason Mill Park

Spring rains this year have been good and the flowers in Mason Mill Park are plentiful. Mountain Laurel coming soon! Worth a walk along the South Peachtree Creek Trail and, if you can, on to the dirt trails as well. Please take only photos and do not remove any flowers or plants. We want them to grow and multiply in their natural habitat for everyone to enjoy. These photos taken in the last week (April 12-19, 2009) by CHCA board members Tim Bryson and Catherine Larson. See the photos in the slideshow frame below or on Flickr. Please feel free to upload or send along your own.

Mason Mill Park : the good bad and ugly

Photos by CHCA board members taken April 5 show some neat native plants in flower, some not so neat invasive wisteria vines strangling trees, some ugly pieces of trash, and some severe erosion caused by stormwater runoff from the parking lot and Williamsburg subdivision. The dog park was heavily used that day and sported two new doggie bag dispensers. View photos below or here on flickr.
