Tom Ledford and family friend, Matt, led 6 birders to 3 Lakes for a wonderful sunrise to noon morning of birding.
After 3 Lakes we traveled to Joe Overstreet Landing.
Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, Bachman Sparrows, Red-headed Woodpeckers, Brown-headed Nuthatches, and Snail Kites were the finds of the day.
